SakshiFun Coupled With Unexpected Turn
Todd Endris is a surfer by profession and was surfing in California with his friends when he got the toughest lesson of his life. He would have never imagined that the very day was going to be the most remarkable day of his life. The young surfer was sitting on his surfboard when suddenly a big white shark made its way towards him. In no time the shark attacked the man. In fact, it attacked him three times. It peeled the skin of the surfer like a banana and the third time it tried to swallow him by biting his right leg into the mouth. Endris tried to save himself by hitting the shark in his head while he had his leg into its mouth. But unfortunately, the shark was too stubborn to give up.
End Of The Life?
Endris had thought that the very day was his last day. He explained, “the second time, he came down and clamped on my torso — sandwiched my board and my torso in his mouth.” He had never imagined that a day so fun filled would turn out so horrible. There was no one around who could help him out of the trouble. He had to fight on his own and battling with a giant and hungry shark was quite a feat to pull off!
Help At Hand
It was then a pod of bottlenose dolphins came to his rescue. The surfer was completely injured exhausted and the shark was just an inch away from him when a group of dolphins swarmed the distance between them. It seemed the dolphins had intervened intentionally. They truly wanted to help surfer. They arranged themselves in a protective chain to help the 24-year-old man. Endris took advantage of that and moved towards the surface. He finally made it but was heavily injured.
Survived Attack
However, Endris managed to prevent internal injury. His abdomen was turned towards the side of the surfboard that prevented any injury to his intestine or any other organs. He was immediately provided the first aid by his friends after coming back to the surface. Apart from that, he had to undergo therapy for several months to come back to his former being. After the days of recovery, he went back to the very spot and surfed once again. Endris successfully dodged shark, thanks to the pod of dolphins but unfortunately could not survive the car accident that ultimately caused his death.
Stranded On The Beach
A pygmy sperm whale and her calf were stranded on Mahia beach located in the northeast of Wellington, New Zealand. After lying there for many hours these distressed whales finally grabbed the attention of a local man who informed his neighbor Malcolm Smith about them. Smith was a conservationist by profession. Malcolm with his team quickly went to the spot and tried to rescue the whales. The team kept trying to refloat the whale and her son for more than one and a half hour. Each time they would come back to the beach. According to Smith despite their efforts “they kept getting disoriented and stranding again. They obviously couldn’t find their way back past [the sandbar] to the sea.” Gauging the seriousness of the problem the conservationist decided to resort to the most unwanted option.
No Solution!
They decided to kill the two! Instead of letting them die gradually and more painfully they decided to kill them more humanely. This particular beach is defamed for the death of many whales in the same way. According to reports, several whales lost theirs by getting stranded on the surface of the beach. It seemed these two whales too were going to meet the same fate when something unexpected happened.
