More than 100 pilot whales, which have bulbous foreheads and can grow to over 4 meters long, beached themselves overnight at Yoff, a traditional Lebou fishing community on the Cap Vert peninsula, mainland Africa's most westerly point.
Local fishermen struggled through the night to drag the animals back to sea from the sloping sandy beach, using their brightly colored open wooden boats known as "pirogues" and attaching ropes around the animals' sleek, black bodies.
By afternoon, as many as 60 whales had released back into the ocean, 38 whales sadly died on the beach, but they were able to save a pregnant whale and her calf shortly after the whale gave birth on the beach.

    I am so sorry to hear that 38 whales sadly died on the beach... The good news is that they were able to save a pregnant whale and her calf after the whale gave birth on the beach. Many thanks for your report! Best regards, www.proof-reading.services

    There is no doubt that play store has the largest possible collection of application and various games, but play store also has some limitations for users and some policies of play store are not satisfactory. Due to the dominance of play store, we are bound to search an alternative and thanks to those third-party App stores like Appvn apk download we can enjoy all the contents for free. Now we have so many alternatives to Appvn and can enjoy all of them hassle-free.
