A 35-foot-long whale calf that was stranded on the coast of Ganpatipule in Maharashtra`s Ratnagiri district was on Wednesday pushed back into the sea after 40 hours of efforts, delighting visitors and locals at the tourist spot, officials said, reported news agency PTI.

The whale calf, weighing nearly 4 tons, reached the coast on Monday but got stuck in the sand near the beach as there was a low tide, reported PTI.
