This photo was taken in the north western region of SriLanka showing and attempt to rescue a killer whale that stranded near sea shore.  As the animal still alive, naval officers try to pull the animal to the offshore area. More than 10 whales and dolphins stranding recorded in the country during a year but the reasons are not known. When whales are found alive, The SriLanka National Aquatic Resources Authority (NARA) with the support of the NAVY try to save their lives through trying to pull them in deep water using naval boats. However, the carcasses of the marine mammals are often found although they were pulled to deep sea.
