Distressed humpback whale tangled in rope near Australia's Sydney Harbour
Wildlife rescue teams scoured Australia's east coast on Monday to find and free a distressed humpback whale tangled in a rope. Aerial footage showed the whale swimming south of Sydney Harbour trailing a rope attached to a floating buoy. 'It makes it more difficult for the whale to dive,' said Pip Jacobs from whale rescue group ORRCA. 'It's tiring for the whale, which is already in a state of distress being tangled.' The whale was about eight metres (25 feet) long, Jacobs said, indicating it was still 'quite young'. The rope appeared to be tangled around the whale's left pectoral fin, she said.
