Whale Saves Diver’s Life in Freezing Waters
just in time: to happen at the last possible moment, often to avoid missing something or prevent a problem
Yang Yun thought she was going to die during a diving contest when her legs stopped working in the freezing water. She was in a 20-foot arctic pool with beluga whales at Polar Land in China. When she tried to swim to the surface, the cold paralyzed her legs, and she began to sink.
At that moment, Mila, a beluga whale, noticed something was wrong. The whale used her nose to push Yang up, bringing her back to the surface just in time. Thanks to Mila, Yang survived the terrifying experience.
Beluga whales are known for being friendly to humans, and Mila’s quick action saved Yang’s life. Yang owes her life to Mila’s awareness and quick thinking.
