/in , /by



A Sea World Rescue team helped a humpback whale off Australia’s Gold Coast that had an anchor and its line tangled around the animal’s tail fluke. The crew were able to successfully grapple a buoy to the anchor line, which pulled it off of the whale as it was swimming at a speed of 8-10 knots.
