A young humpback whale entangled in heavy ropes and buoys and anchored by a 300-pound crab pot was successfully saved by Alaskan rescuers.
Two local residents spotted the whale on 10 October near the coast of Gustavus, Alaska; workers from the Glacier Bay National Park immediately went into the water to assess the situation and confirmed that the four to five-year-old whale was trapped in ropes and dragging two buoys.
