Orcas stranded in shallow water were rescued along the Russian coast.

The Russian Emergency Services conducted a laborious rescue mission to save four orcas trapped in the shallow waters of the Sea of Okhotsk.

Footage shows men splashing buckets of water on the stranded sea creatures, struggling to breathe until the tide rises again.

The team could not use heavy rescue equipment due to the muddy lagoon floor. The marine animals eventually moved along as the water rose.

Officials said there are many reasons why whales can become stranded on the shore, including navigation errors, hunting prey in shallow waters, earthquakes, or bad weather conditions.
