錯把遊艇當媽的幼鯨 被安樂死
前兩天在雪梨港灣外被發現的一條迷航幼鯨，今天被安樂死。
那條被母親遺棄的幼鯨，是上星期天在雪梨北方的港邊被發現，牠緊貼在一艘停靠在岸邊的遊艇旁，
不斷抬頭張嘴，一副嗷嗷待哺的樣子，顯然是錯把遊艇當成了媽。
獸醫判斷，那頭大翅鯨，大概只有兩三個星期大，斷奶幾天，就有可能小命不保，幼鯨又沒有辦法人工餵奶，
為了幫牠找媽媽或者代理乳母，救援人員把遊艇開到海上，引導牠回到深水區，不過，還不到一天，牠又回到雪梨出海口附近。
牠身上有被鯊魚咬過的傷口，已經出現呼吸困難的症狀，在救不了牠的情況下，為了減輕牠的痛苦，
澳洲野生動物管理單位決定讓牠安樂死，今天早上，牠們為幼鯨注射了致命劑量的麻醉劑，
牠被拖上沙灘的時候還活著，許多愛護動物人士在岸邊觀看，邊哭邊罵。
Military ready to help whale,but experts pessimistic
The Defence Department could swing into action to help a starving whale calf in Sydney,
but the main NSW Government spokesman on the whale's fate says military help may not save it.
Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon says his department stands ready to assist in the effort to save the month-old humpback,
which is stranded and starving after being abandoned by its mother off Sydney's northern beaches.
Mr Fitzgibbon has confirmed to ABC NewsRadio that he has had a request about using Australian Defence Force
(ADF) fuel bladders to tow the whale out to sea, where some hope it would join other whales and find an accommodating, lactating female.

"The vets who had a look at him were really surprised at how fast he'd gone downhill,'' NPWS spokesman John Dengate said.
"He's having difficulties breathing and his flippers were at an unnatural angle.
"Their advice to us was `he's not going to last much longer, he's suffering and you should take action'.''
