As the entire country is under 21-day lockdown due to coronavirus, all humans are quarantined inside their house and the members of the animal kingdom are all set to reclaim the earth all over again. The Twitter has gone berserk with a viral video of some whale-like creatures swimming underwater, somewhere near the high shore oilfields of Mumbai.
Looking at the majestic tail closely and the way they’re breathing through their nostrils, it can be assumed that they are a whale.
Said to be a sighting from the Bombay High offshore oil field, would be grateful if someone could authenticate. Even if not, it’s a lovely sight!!!! pic.twitter.com/HpU4jPPJc0
