[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Nayeon] A single beluga (white whale), an endangered species that mainly inhabits the cold waters of the Arctic Ocean, was found in the Seine River in France.


According to recent reports from foreign media such as BBC and Reuters, the beluga first spotted in the Seine River on the 2nd is currently confirmed to be staying near the sluice gate in Vernon, located 70 km northwest of the capital, Paris.


The beluga is currently in a thin condition and is not very active.


Belugas, which tend to live alone, are sometimes known to migrate southward, but French authorities and experts have not yet determined the reason why the beluga came so far from its habitat to the Seine River in France.



Meanwhile, the rescue team is devising a way to return the beluga to the sea and is attempting to guide it toward the mouth of the Seine River, but it is reported to be a difficult situation.
