Toa, a killer whale stranded from his family, had washed ashore on the New Zealand coast.

A baby orca found stranded in New Zealand has died, after a huge effort to reunite him with his mother failed.

Believed to be two to six months old and about 2.5m long, the orphan could not survive alone in the ocean.Toa - Maori for "warrior" - was separated from his pod and found by two teenagers in a rockpool in Plimmerton, north of Wellington. A fleet of aircraft and on-shore observers scoured hundreds of miles of coastline for Toa's pod in the hope his mother could be found.

"We have to report that a little time ago Toa passed away," the organisation said. "As you can all imagine we are devastated."

Sad story

So so sad

Heartbreaking 🥲

Devastating news

HananNadim I pray for those lovely creatures, the absence of mothers don’t mean a death sentence, we need Jesus Christ to teach us how to cure and bring people to life not to kill one another there are a lot of evil forces ..only faith brings life back

If only those animals and mammals have addresses like human beings, we could save their lives by locating their mothers humanly, I saw a video from Syria where an unborn baby was pulled out of dead mother womb the baby was rescued and not killed

Any other sad news that the British tax payers is funding ?

Perhaps, instead if capturing it, they should have released it and let nature take over. But, humans know best apparently.

could his mom abandoned her because she is covid positive? just wondering 🤔
