In a follow-up monitoring some 40 days later, using trackers and beacons placed on Haitang before its release, scientists found that it had dived to some 300 to 500 meters below the surface — the favored depth for it to feed.
Despite being unable to see it once again, scientists believed that it had found its group and living in the area healthily.
Short-finned pilot whales are nationally second-class protected wild animals in China.
