Whale Rescue Takes On Extreme Sports

The Daily Telegraph | Whale wearing a fish net tight:

"WITH the massive power of a 7m humpback splashing about beneath their inflatable boat, whale rescuers turned their work into an extreme sport yesterday.

Wearing crash helmets, gloves and wetsuits, they struggled for nearly three hours to release the juvenile whale after it became tangled in a shark net."

Wouldn't that have been a blast! That must've been one experience being up close with the humpback whale and rescuing it.
