29/07/2009A beluga whale in a Chinese aquarium has rescued a drowning diver by pushing her out of the water.
A spokesman for Harbin Polar Land in the country's north-east Heilongjiang province said the diver had been taking part in a competition at the aquarium when she began suffering sudden cramps in her legs.
Entrants were required to dive into the 6-metre-deep cool pool without any breathing equipment.
The person who dives the deepest and stays down for the longest time wins the competition.
Yang Yun, an applicant from a local Chinese Medicine College, dived to a depth of 4 metres on her first trial.
