A juvenile humpback whale was successfully freed after being entangled in ropes and buoys in Sydney Harbour, Australia's largest city, for nearly 24 hours. The whale was first spotted on Thursday afternoon near Shark Island with a net believed to be hooked around its fins and tail. A rescue mission was swiftly launched, involving specialist marine crews who worked tirelessly to track and disentangle the whale. The efforts continued into Friday morning, culminating in the whale's release, with crews rejoicing at the successful outcome. Bystanders were urged to assist by keeping an eye out for the whale during the rescue operation.
