An orca that was stranded on some rocks was kept alive for eight hours by a dedicated team of whale researchers and volunteers on the North Coast of B.C. <br /> <br />"She cried often, which tore at our hearts, but as the tide came up there were many cheers as this whale was finally free," said in a Facebook post from the group The Cetacean Lab. <br /> <br />Early Wednesday morning, the group received a call from a colleague about the beached orca, which was stuck on some rocks at low tide. <br /> <br />"We decided the best thing to do would be to keep her cool, that meant to put water on her body and we used blankets and sheets," said Hermann Meuter, a co-founder of Cetacean Lab. <br /> <br />"It was the only thing we could do." <br /> <br />Meuter said they could see the orca's behaviour change as they began to help her.
