Whale Swims Into Marina in Affluent Buenos Aires Suburb

A whale swam in to a marina in the upscale Buenos Aires district of Puerto Madero on Monday, prompting the coast guard to launch an operation to lead the animal back out to sea. The whale appeared in the early afternoon with a large crowd gathering to witness the unusual sight, according to Clarin. Argentina’s Whale Conservation Institute identified the whale as a juvenile humpback.
