Three whales nearly 20 meters long surfaced to hunt in Co To.

At 9:00 AM on December 14th, while on patrol, soldiers from the Co To Border Guard Station (Co To Island District, Quang Ninh Province) recorded the sighting of three whales southeast of Co To Island, about 6 nautical miles from the shore.

The 35-second clip, recorded by soldiers at the Co To Border Guard Post, shows a pod of three whales, each nearly 20 meters long, with their mouths wide open as they surface to hunt.

Reportedly, whales have been appearing frequently in the Co To sea area over the past four months. Specifically, in July 2023, a pod of 4-5 whales regularly appeared in the area from Ha Mai to Dau Trau. At the end of September 2023, whales again spent an hour feeding in the Co To island area.

According to local authorities and residents, whale sightings were very rare in previous years. However, in 2023, whale pods appeared frequently in this area.

Three whales, each nearly 20 meters long, emerged from the sea with their mouths wide open to hunt.

Experts from the Institute of Oceanography say that the frequent appearance of whales in the Co To area to feed is a positive sign indicating that the marine environment there is clean and healthy.

These are favorable conditions for the growth of marine life, especially rare species. It is also a positive result of the vigorous implementation of the "Co To District Free of Plastic Waste" project.
