        French environmentalists will try to move a dangerously thin beluga whale that strayed into the Seine River last week to a saltwater river basin Tuesday to try and save its life.
        
        The mammal, measuring four meters (13 feet), will be transported there for “a period of care” by medics who suspect the mammal is sick and in a race against the clock, said Lamya Essemlali, president of Sea Shepherd France.
        
        If the whale responds to treatment, it may finally be released back to the open sea.
