One of the rescuers told local reporters that "whales tend to go to the coast to die, but there is a chance that this is not the case and the team want to give it a second chance."
Biologist Karina Alvarez said the animal floated but did not move its tail or pectoral fins because it was too weak. Let's hope it feels a lot better really soon.
