Baby whale seems to think yacht is its mother
Australian media say a lost humpback whale calf has bonded with a yacht it seems to think is its mother.
The 1- to 2-month-old calf was first sighted Sunday in waters off north Sydney, and on Monday tried to suckle from a yacht, which it would not leave.
Rescuers towed the yacht out to sea, and the calf finally detached from the boat but still swam nearby, Australian Broadcasting Corp. and Channel 10 television news reported.
The calf appears exhausted but rescuers hope it will continue out to sea and search for its mother or another pod of whales.
"The outlook is not good, but we are giving the calf its only option. It can't be fed, and in fact we wouldn't know what to feed it" because it is not weaned, National Parks and Wildlife regional manager Chris McIntosh told ABC radio.

What do they mean they don't know what to feed it? Animals are rescued all of the time. Take him to Sea World and let him hook up w/ some whales in there. Duh!
Hope they can find another pod for this guy.

OMG! If you "hate whales with a passion", why the hell would you even reply to this.
omg i love animalsss so much.. poor little thing.. i hope God punishes people that kill/torture these little inocent creatures around the world…
Re: ashleytheboss – no bitch the only sad and true thing here is that i hate ur fuking ugly face.. fuck off!
Kind of like Perez - not knowing where to suckle from. Following any ship that passes by and then shitting all over it.
Poor baby! This is so sad. And what a load of crap that they don't know how to feed it. It can be done–they do it all the time–they just don't want to take the effort or expense of helping this poor baby out. Heartless cowards!
This is so horrible. I hope someone helps him.
Perez, I wish you wouldnt put things like this on your site…. 
My god!!! Feed it milk!! What do you think all baby mammals drink?? This pisses me off.
I have a feeling it's going to die….: (
Oh and you guys who think the people are heartless for not feeding it milk. Why don't you try and duplicate his specific mother's WHALE milk and try feeding it yourself.
OH BULLSHIT they don't know how to feed a baby whale??? I'm sure some organization knows how to feed a baby whale and when they want to save a baby whale they do! pisses me off!!
oh now thats just sad. i cant even think about it
that is SO cute!
animals are awesome.
i hope it finds its mother =]
We are looking at a humpback whale.. and I believe there are none in captivity. That being said, why they can't feed it is pretty sad, but also makes sense since it's only a baby, and it probably requires specific elements and quantities which are unknown… but I can't understand why they wouldn't help her/him find a pod.
If they keep the yacht at bay, the baby whale will not leave the shore. IDIOTS.
I hope someone's taking care of the baby whale… for the record P stay away from there… you look as big as a baby whale mom with those obnoxious female breasts… you might get confused as well
LMAOOOOO LOLLL!!!!!!!!!! POOOR BABYYYYY God blESSS U!!!!
Aww that's so sad. It's cute at first…but then I started to read the last part. Hopefully it finds another whale to care for it.
awwwwww how sad = (
Can't they track down a whale pod (with sonar or something?) and put the baby whale nearby in hopes they'll take it into their group?
Apparently you people don't know how to read.

OMG so so sad…SAVE THE WHALES!!!
That's tragic. Hope it doesn't starve to death.
it reminds me of the nevermind album cover….except thers a whale in this one
Re: AMO –

Aaah, shame :'(
