An injured 7ft-long sunfish was rescued by fishermen after it became stranded in shallow waters off the coast of the Philippines last week.<br /><br />The wounded 220lb marine animal was spotted when it discovered the wounded marine animal when it waved its fins above the sea near a port in Ormoc City, Leyte province, on 15 June.<br /><br />Fishermen tried to push the creature back into the sea but it kept swimming back, so they called authorities who managed to nudge the fish back into the water.<br /><br />"We are monitoring the situation in case it comes back and becomes stranded again," authorities said.
