Beluga in the Seine: the animal, particularly emaciated, found about 70 km from Paris

A beluga was once again located in the Seine on the morning of Friday August 5. Journalist Thibault Petit, live from Saint-Pierre-La-Garenne (Eure)explain that “The beluga has just been found just a few kilometers from here. This morning, several boats were looking for him: associations and in particular the gendarmerie. A difficult operation, since the animal is able to swim in apnea for 20 minutes, hidden under water. The time for him to travel 15 to 20 km.”

“From now on, the associations will continue to observe it, to observe its state of health, and they will also try to feed it. There is an emergency, moreover, since the drones have shown images of a particularly emaciated animal. “ Then, the animal will obviously have to be taken back to the sea as quickly as possible, 200 km away, because the beluga is not used to living in fresh water, and so far from its natural habitat: the icy waters of the ‘Arctic.
