Who is Humphrey whale?

humpback whales are intelligent animals. They travel in the pods and migrate south to winter and north in the summer. Although they generally remain together and travel in the same course year after year, there are occasional mistakes. One of the unforgettable was the whale that became known as Humphrey. It was an exciting delicacy for San Francisco's inhabitants, because the whale of humpback whales usually remain in the very deep parts of the ocean. Humphrey whale was 45 feet long (13.7 m) and weighed approximately 40 tons (36,287 kg). Tourists and residents went out to see Humphrey. The Sacramento River shrunk and narrower when Humphrey traveled upstream and was looking for an ocean, but in the wrong direction. The river was too small for him, just like being sweet water, not salty water that the whales must survive. But he was still walking upstream, then from his source of food and the environment he needed. Humphrey finally got stuck under a small bridge in Slough, which branches from the Sacramento River.

Scientists, Coast Guard and others have developed a surprisingly simple plan to save Humphrey's whale. They planned to spin long pipes underwater to scare him from the direction he was aiming, while playing a whale recording that they eat in the opposite direction. They hoped to attract Humphrey to the ocean in finding food and his pods.

Humphrey began to swim in the opposite direction to bang, but stopped when he arrived back on a small bridge. The pipeline was constantly banging and seeing Humphrey seemed to be angry and confused, he threw himself in the water, but he couldn't get anywhere. Finally, a crane was brought to remove some old pillars of the bridge and create enough space for Humphrey to swim. Although it seemed to be stuck in the remaining pillars for a moment, he finally relaxed and swam to the other side.

Humphrey whale spent a day swim around the bay, slapped tail, jumped out of the water and entertained people whoThey watched. Then he swam under the bridge Golden Gate and out into the open water, 26 days after the lost.

scientists were able to identify Humphrey later during his annual migration by his distinctive brands. In 1986 he was seen in 1986 on the islands of Fallon and Bodega Bay in 1988. In 1990, the whale Humphrey was again in trouble, found on a beach in a mud near Candlestick Park in San Francisco. It took three DENS for rescuers from the center of sea mammals and coastline guards of the United States to liberate Humphrey, which they finally did by drawing air under it during a high tide and pulling into deeper water and liberating it again.
