Noosa: A whale calf was rescued after being entangled in shark nets off the coast of the Australian Queensland state on Thursday.
The baby whale was spotted near the state's Sunshine Coast in Noosa trapped but protected by its mother. Later someone noticed it and immediately informed the authorities about the incident.
Authorities then dispatched a team of rescuers from the state's fisheries department to rescue the whale which was caught up in the pectoral fin and around its mouth. Members used knives on hooks to cut through the rope.
Rescuers took about three hours to free the whale and also to reunite with its mother.
