Beached Porpoise On Portobello

DIVERS and animal rescue officers bravely battled to save a young porpoise in near-freezing temperatures after he was washed up on a deserted beach.

Tearful passers-by looked-on as a diver from British Divers Marine Life Rescue and an officer from the SSPCA wrapped the young mammal in a duvet to keep him warm, while a local vet checked the porpoises condition.

The team battled to save the porpoise for over three hours, after it was discovered on Portobello beach, near Edinburgh, at around 9.15am yesterday (Monday) morning.

The porpoise, who appeared to have a tear in his eye as the rescuers battled to save him, had to be put to sleep after the vet decided he was not strong enough to return to the sea.
