Lifeguards near Cape Town were quick to react on January 4, after a baby whale shark they deemed likely to have been separated from its mother got stranded at a local beach.
Clifton Surf Lifesaving Club said that the South African lifeguards “blew for people to get out of the water” after they spotted the mammal about 65 feet offshore.
In this video, which was recorded by one of their staff members, rescuers can be seen pushing the calf back into deeper water.
The club said this was a “once-in-a-lifetime moment” for beachgoers and lifeguards, as whale sharks do not normally occur in this location, preferring warm tropical waters.
“Clifton was treated to a very special visit,” they said, but reminded members of the public to keep their distance from marine and coastal wildlife at all times.

Cinematography deserving of accolades; it's not just a video, but a visual spectacle.👅
A little more left
What whale????😂😂😂
Beautiful animal!!
These people clearly had no idea what they were doing. You never hang out near a tail of a beached animal of this size. It’s similar to walking around the back of a horse. Plane stupid
They get pretty tired out. Glad there was life guard around
Cant it just be eaten?
All I saw was a peach
