Polish Rescuers Free Humpback Whale Trapped in Baltic Sea Fishing Nets

The young whale, found near a Polish coastal town, was successfully untangled and swam away unharmed.

A seven-meter-long juvenile humpback whale became entangled in fishing nets near the seaside town of Miedzyzdroje, Poland.
Rescue efforts by Polish environmentalists and maritime rescuers lasted about an hour, during which the whale initially displayed signs of stress but later calmed down.
The whale was freed without injuries, reportedly cooperating with rescuers during the latter part of the operation.
Experts believe the whale may have become separated from its group or lost its way, as humpback whales are rarely found in the Baltic Sea.
The whale now faces the challenge of navigating back to the North Sea through narrow straits between Denmark and Sweden.
