 Another encounter with Humpback Whales 

Earlier this week, Australian marine rescuers worked together for over two days to free a humpback whale entangled in a shark net off Queensland's Gold Coast. Officials from Sea World and the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries attempted to release the juvenile humpback for much of Wednesday, as it gave out anguished cry sounds in an order to escape itself.

Humpback whales may be spotted in all of the world's oceans. It alludes to their massive pectoral fins, which may reach a length of 16 feet. The popular name "humpback" comes from their black backs, light bellies, pleats on their necks, and a tiny hump in the front of their dorsal fin.
