The first wave washed over the rocks, touching her side. Then came another. The orca felt the water and tried to move. The biologist shouted:
— “Come on, girl, you can do it!” — pulling on the ropes with all his strength.

With every passing minute, the waves grew higher. Finally, when the tide reached her tail, the orca used the last of her strength to flap her fin and slide back into the water.Everyone on the shore cheered with joy. The animal made a few uncertain movements, then steadied herself and swam toward the horizon. Before disappearing into the depths, she surfaced once more and released a powerful spout of water — as if to say goodbye to her rescuers.
