Iiiiiit's a rescue story! Debbie and Savanna talk about the largest marine mammal rescue in history that Debbie found out about it because her father-in-law played a role in it! When a week-old gray whale calf washed ashore in Marina del Rey in 1997, veterinarians gave her almost no chance of survival. But a team at SeaWorld decided to try anyway—attempting something never done before. This is the story of JJ, the largest marine mammal rescue in history, and the baby whale who rewrote the rules of marine science. We're a new podcast and want to be friends so leave us a comment and let us know what story you want us to cover next!
