33ft Humpback Whale Freed From Net Off Australian Coast

This is the dramatic moment a distressed 33ft humpback whale was rescued from a net off the coast of Australia. The large marine mammal had been tangled in the shark control program net as it was swimming off Mermaid Beach in Gold Coast on June 6 during peak migration season. Footage shows how rescuers from Sea World Australia battled to free the stranded creature, which appeared to be stressed as it frequently gulped in air through its blowhole.
