Mother Humpback Stays by Calf While Rescuers Free it From Shark Net
A mother humpback whale remained by its offspring’s side as rescuers freed the calf’s tail which had been entangled in a shark net. Using specialised cutting equipment, workers from Sea World Australia, Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol worked together to free the four-metre calf who was trapped off the coast of Coolangatta Beach.
A spokesman for the fisheries told ABC the mother had “pushed into the nets slightly to help keep the calf up on the surface.”
After workers cut away the mesh, the pair swam away to the South Pacific Ocean in good condition.
The incident has reignited debates over shark nets used by state governments as a preventative measure.

I'm getting tired of seeing whales caught up in fishing nets but I will never get tired of watching you guys rescue them. Thank you.
I think all fishing nets should be registered with the owner's name. They should be responsible for each net. If an animal is found stranded in the net, they should face a heavy fine
Shark nets are for protecting swimmers at the beach, not for fishing
Will say same thing. Shark nets are not fishing nets
Well said....I love the help they provide - bring tears to my eyes how kind and brilliant some of these rescues are...now let's stop making the world such a hostile place for animals and sea creatures..
@@seanb2604 people have choices, sea anmals dont, so dont go in the water.
So amazing how calm both mom and baby stayed. Baby could have been screaming and panicking. Instead, so gentle and trusting. We humans could learn so much.
It was probably already exhausted by the time they got to it.
The poor things were probably sun burned and physically and emotionally drained. I can't imagine the stress that poor mom was in thinking her baby might die in that net.
@@roseannarios7312 or be attacked by sharks & Orca's...
these animals are intelligent enough to know when they're being helped
Yep, and who kill them. No grand "thank yous" on this occasion. Mom and child got out of there without looking back. Momma's probably grunting, clicking, and chirping to baby..."You can fix stupid. But crazy? Stay the hell away from crazy. And humans is crazy!"
Whales have sonar, i.e. they make a great variety of clicking sounds at a wide variety of frequencies, to tell them what's around them. Perhaps nets in the water should contain some large plastic or wooden blobs which reflect these sonar pulses, so that the whales would be able to "see" (via sonar) the blobs and they would know that there was an obstacle. Probably the thin nylon fibres of the nets are invisible to the whales. If net manufacturers used these plastic balls visible to whales, the whales would stay away and the nets would not be damaged. Everybody would benefit.
@@simonmultiverse6349 invent it and make some money
@@simonmultiverse6349 Looks like you have a job to do.
Even if it was sea world but they soon got out of there
Amazing how mother sticks so close to her baby throughout. The dedication of a mother runs through most species. Good work Sea World.
And even some of those that are usually good mother's can sometimes not be so dedicated. I'm definitely not a single dad because the mom died! She's alive & well & still hasn't seen her kid in five years. Mine was gone when I was 13 myself. Trust me, whales are definitely MUCH MUCH better mother's than humans.
@@americannobody27 sounds like you’re a good dad.
Yes indeed. The media have nothing good to say about Sea World. Many mistakes are made by all of us, but Sea World does more than anybody to help And take care of our sea children. God bless you Sea World. Continue doing all you do.
@@americannobody27 i hear ya.
The net is property of Sea World so the whales were in harms way because of said Sea World net so you're right "Good work Sea World" 🤣🤣🤣
Damn nets!! If u dont want to share the ocean with its natural inhabitants...stay in the pool!!! Bless you all!!! Just beautiful
No we want everything for us
Well they use the nets to keep sharks from attacking people
Shanice I don't think you get it. She's saying if you don't want to get attacked by a shark don't swim in the ocean.
For sure.. These nets should not be there !!! So happy the baby whale is ok💗💞
@Catherine Mendel first of all you sound stupid and second animals were here before us so the land belongs to them not humans. So shut up
baby vocalizing distress calls and mum making soothing whale sounds. so amazing. kudos to the guys - great job. :) 🐋
most of the animals who are trapped do not get rescued and die violently because of humans. This is unbearable!
Thank you to the rescuers for risking their lives to save those precious mammals. You all are AWESOME!
The Momma Humpback’s soothing sounds made ME calm as I watched this. I am mesmerized by these precious creatures. Living in NorCal, they are here most of the year.
I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of animals entrapped by those nets are not rescued and end up dead. Shark nets should be illegal. The risk of being attacked by a shark, even one that's right next to you, is exceedingly small. Be willing to take that risk or stay out of the ocean.
been to australia several times...love it. heard from a marine biologist while there about all the sea life that ends up dead in those nets, esp turtles. i dont want to encounter sharks either when i go out but i rather they take out the nets to protect our fragile sea life.
Geronimo2Fly That way sharks can’t be fished either. Their numbers are dropping fast too. Those who eat their fin soup can take Viagra instead.
Nets and plastic grocery bags - ugh
Suz V2017, you know that we, as humans, invaded their territory, not the other way around. Those "creatures" and all other ocean dwellers have much more right to the oceans than we do.
Who cares if a shark kills a human anyway, we are way too overpopulated as it is.
get rid of that disgusting net permanently!
Yes, this is ridiculous, the ocean belongs to the Sea Creatures!!!!!..this makes me so mad!
Yes, and if that means more shark-human interactions that end in humans being eaten alive then so be it.
It’s been banned for use since 2001, but as we can see, people are still using it. Disgusting people who don’t care about the ramifications of possible consequences for these majestic creatures. The mom was not going to leave her baby and she kept it calm. Neither animal tried to get away. They somehow managed to know that they were being helped. Thank you to the 2 crews for saving this loving family. ❤
Think they must’ve known they were being helped and stayed calm. These are hero’s!
Amazing how the mother understands the intent of the crew is there to help her calf and not harm which is why she does not attack with her amazing power.
God bless mama whale for staying by her baby, baby whale for being so calm and the good people at Australia Sea World for remaining calm and doing a fantastic job!! :)
This is AUSTRALIA?
LOWE, that’s why they all had that interesting accent
When you know when you need help.
MashaAllah No doubts😘👍
@@fbfoodtravel5352 Turko?
I always find it amazing to see how these beautiful creatures seem to fully understand that we're trying to help them in horrible situations like this. Most mothers will try to defend their young ones, which would be completely logic. I'm very glad they were able to help this youngster to, hopefully, live a long life. 🐳🐋
Do you think so or they have no choice? I hope they know we are trying to help. Can't say the same for Japanese whaling vessels though.
Just amazing. That mother whale clearly is intelligent enough to understand that the people are there to help. We need to do more to protect them

@@VeganV5912 what the fuck is wrong with you
Beautiful sight until the family of orcas ate the baby whale an hour later.
Leo Licht You were dropped on your head as a child, my condolences to you.
Yeah, "saved" by the same people who keep Orca captive for the amusement of humans. Beautiful. NOT.
This is what life is about, helping others (including animals in distress)
Thankfully momma was good natured about it too or it could have got ugly.
The actions of men put her in danger.... shark nets are for selfish humans to swim in water that they don't belong in and the hotels do it to make money. Greed.
And then we eat them.
Life is also about maturing as you grow older, and not have everything you want! How about avoiding having to help others by not going out of your way into _someone else's_ house and hanging up shark nets because you dont like certain of _their_ family members! Go into someone else's space, knowing you may get eaten. That's having heavy enough balls to take responsibility. Hanging nets up represents every mistake humans are making.
Hofkicks + Life is about not putting the bloody net there in the first place.
Why the hell are the shark nets so far out - how far do guys want to swim in the morning?

@David 1) so what? It's obviously in a position that has the potential to kill marine animals indiscriminately. Plenty of reefs are "used for scuba tourists" and don't have nets around them. Maybe people shouldn't be diving there if it's not safe because of sharks? 2) Then maybe watercraft should not be allowed in that area. Pretty sure not killing animals is more important than someone's desire to jetski. If you're embarrased about having shark nets in your tourist photos that probably says something about your priorities doesn't it? 3) Huh? If the nets are "less deep" then the sharks can just swim right under them right? So they are pointless. This point makes no sense. 4) evidence? How do they stop rip currents, and beach erosion? This is just total nonsense. lol. A fishing net is going to stop ocean currents. Jelly fish don't attack anyone. Jellyfish don't have brains. They just float around in the water and you get their way. Lot's of jobs "feed families". Slavery fed families too. Is that a justification for slavery? You are not logical. None of your points stand up to any scrutiny. Simply say you don't care if other marine animals are killed because we want to try to protect humans from sharks in tourist areas. At least that would be intellectually honest. You remind me of a typical anti PC backlash right wing moron who thinks they are making logical points but under even the most basic critical analysis, your argument falls apart like the pathetically illogical mess it is.
Amazing how calm they both were.
Shark nets are horrible and need to be banned.
It's their ocean. You go in there you are taking that risk. Try to avoid being in the water when they are more likely to be about (early morning and the evening).
Needless to say I don't agree. I don't care for this "fuck the environment" or "to hell with animals" approach that some people have. I think we as humans need to make an effort to work with the environment and avoid doing harmful things (such as putting up these nets). I'm no vegan. I have no issues with people eating meat (as long as the animal is not an endangered species that is). We are omnivores afterall and we need meat for a properly balanced diet. However, I don't like when people do things that are for more selfish reasons such as wearing fur. And I do view the nets as selfish. You're in the water for recreational purposes. You don't NEED to be there. And do remember that it's not just sharks getting killed by these nets. Sorry for the long rant, just trying to let you see things from my point of view. I know you probably disagree, but ah well...
I didn't say you did. I said I was against that general attitude that some people have. Maybe you have that attitude, maybe you don't. And I already did point out that I had no issue with people eating meat. However, there is a difference between doing things that are necessary and doing things that are unnecessary and downright destructive. But you are now simply throwing out ad hominem attacks and it's clear there is no discussing things with you.
I can totally understand that. I've known people like that too and it is really obnoxious. It's totally fine if they want to avoid eating meat. I've got no issues with that. But they shouldn't be trying to dictate to other people what they can put in their bodies for nutrition. Like I said, we're omnivores so meat is supposed to be part of our diet. It's perfectly natural. I only have issues if people are eating rare (almost extinct) animals. That I think it really irresponsible. But I doubt you go around doing that. lol.
And for the record, I LOVE meat. Like seriously. I could never be a vegan or a vegetarian. haha.
Courageous rescue. No more shark nets, if you please. Let Mother Nature take care of things.
@Sandra Brown sharks have started grabbing kids off boats now, totally above the water

**GOD BLESS THESE MEN AND THESE WHALES**
@Christopher Sabionski because of man's CHOICE to disobey Jesus, we suffer the penalty of sin, which is death. Here on earth we have laws of the land. We break the law we go to jail and in many cases suffer the death penalty. If you had a child and you tell him not to touch the fire on the stove, and he disobeys and touches the fire, you know what's next. He gets burn. With a disobedient sinful heart, comes an array of terrible things that fall upon us. Nonetheless, there is hope. Jesus came down to this world and lived, loved, healed, taught, suffered and died for the sins of man. If we would just open our hearts to Him and choose to love and serve Him, this world would be a better place.

these god damn shark net. stay out of the damn water if you don't want to be killed by one. don't have to put other creatures at risk too just because human thinks they own the world and can do whatever they want.
Peter Atkinson That's what I am saying. If stupid people still want to swim in shark areas I would not care if they were killed. They DO know the risk, so ban all of those damned shark nets and reduce these risks for sea life.
Just posted above yours more or less the same thing, we think alike, the selfish sods.. A warning sign should suffice, if not then its their own faults
So to close off all Australia beaches pretty much?
Peter, my thoughts exactly. Huge cost and a hazard to sea life. Swim somewhere else or buy a wading pool. Spoil humans, what are you gonna do?
It's on your own risk.

Breaks my heart this happens, so happy this whale will be saved 💞
Thank you for saving them💖 How is anything supposed to survive with nets that stretch soo far Sooo cruel Patricia
That what I like to know
All animal-rescue-vids are in my heart... Thanks to all this heros
These shark nets probably have killed more sea life then humans being attacked by sharks. Just removed the nets if you get attacked by sharks it's your fault.
Tombie Totally agree...
No. Shark nets protect people and it's not like Shark nets are 100 miles long or even far from the beech. People will see a whale caught in one and get it loose.
@B M-Y we can afford to lose a few? That's a real nice attitude. I assume you don't mean your family and friends. All of the ocean is shark infested. Shark nets are a good idea.
@@CarbonGlassMan if you don't want to risk being bitten by a shark, then stay out of the ocean. Its that simple. Respect the fact that its their habitat and they CANT leave. We can completely avoid them by staying out of the water. Instead arrogant people think its acceptable to invade the only place they exist and then get mad at the shark. We cannot control nature, and whenever we try we end up destroying it. Shark nets do far more harm to marine life than they do good for people.
I agree with removing the nets, but getting attacked by a shark is nobody's fault, any more that getting attacked by wolves or being caught in the middle of a tornado is somebody's "fault". Humans are a part of nature, just like any other animal. We're not synthetic or made in a lab somewhere by alien toymasters. We evolved right alongside all the other animals on earth, so this silly notion that everything we do is somehow unnatural and separate from the realm of nature is at best ignorant, or at worst downright disingenuous.
Thank you so much for doing this! It made me believe in humanity again.❤🙏
Imagine the stress these whales face when they get trapped. Sea World does a good thing here but they caught their Whales for their shows in nets also.
I swear mama was telling baba to lift tail up for hooomans (humans). Loved the way she kept baba in place also. Amazing animals 😘
@Mark Olander 🤣🤣🤣😙😙
"Mama" "baba" "hooomans". Typical of "animal lovers." Telling us how "amazing" they are then infantilizing them so you can feel like their mommy. Creepy stuff.
@@polemeros wtf r i trying to say? Its fukin abbreviation. Ur a god dam creepy troll. Just fuk off.
@@polemeros ur a the typical example of the kinda humans that r destroying our planet 🌏. Got nothing better to do than spread, nastiness, negativity and hate. Ur a souless prick really aren't u? Idiot.
@@polemeros u been reported mate.
that should not be allowed look as the size of that net. these animals were here well before we were so they have the right to be there as do sharks. id rather tell people to stay out of the water than kill one of these beautiful creatures
Acoustic "pingers" have been fitted to the nets to warn off dolphins and whales and the nets are not in place in winter, the whale migration season.
Congratulations on the wonderful work you do, you are true angel !!! , God bless you guys always , hugs from BRAZIL .
That was incredible! You guys put your lives in jeopardy multiple times during this video but you continued nonetheless! That is so heroic and you deserve to be revered for the work you do, much more than any sports star or artist in my opinion. The trust shown by the Mama whale and the calf is amazing and it was lovely to hear them talking to each other. Thank you for the work you do and sharing it with us.
Thank Y'all so much for saving this little baby
OMGOODNESS! Absolutely incredible! 😊 😀 👍 Was, however, in tears, before you saved the whale😢😢😢 Just totally disgusted, that such a situation could at all happen!😢😢😠 RESPECT, please, for these awesome creatures! Thank you so much for sharing 😊 All love, and best wishes, Claire😙😙😙😙
these nets kill more fish than save humans how many times has this happened and no one has been around...if your scared of sharks dont go into the ocean its pretty sad we are more worried about swimming in the ocean for fun than the well being of all the life that lives in the ocean...this is one reason why i will never go there who ever came up with this idea for the country should be fired....
and why would they put the net that far out no one is going to be swimming out there if your going to put one out it only needs to be like 100ft out from the beach and big whales like this dont come that close to shore so there wouldnt be as big of a problem
For you're not special...a very good point! BUT I think...if they do so...then humans might get caught & tangled in those nets! Especially kids! AND they are worried of the danger & probably law suits! It all comes down to $$ in this human dominated world!
What a superb mother this Mom whale was to stay put while this kind men were freeing her baby. This is a lesson which needs to be learn by human mothers: Never, ever, abandon your child in times of need. Be there for him or her until the situation Is resolved. It is admirable the intelligence of whales, how they know to approach people to ask for help. They never ceases to amaze me. THANK YOU guys for helping this baby humpback whale, she and her Mom are most definitely grateful for your help in time of need. You are the real heroes in this story. Bravo bravo 👏👏👏👏👏🙏👏👏👏👏
You are amazing, thank you for helping the animals in the ocean, your kind should multiply, the world needs people like you.
Kudos and blessings on the rescuers.💜
Humanity needs to make up for all the tragedy we have caused! This is a good start! ❤️🐋
Keep on dreaming. And by the way, have you seen what company they were from? They are frim Sea Wold! They earn money with inprisoning sea mamels.
And today I learned about shark nets... 😨
Thank you for your kindness and compassionate hearts to these seals.
Notice the little rainbows that appear in the water spray? Blessed!
An hour later a family of orcas killed and ate the baby whale. I don’t imagine there was a rainbow created by the blood spray.
Whale snot not water spray.
I remember first time I went whale watching. As the boat passed under some grey whales spouts I thought how amazing! Until I smelt what they dealt! Whale fart/burp! It was disgusting!
That's the light from the sun refracting in the spray of the water
@@susananderson3855 wish the smell defracted from my nose!
If there are sharks in these waters, then swimmers should be banned from swimming there, why risk these creatures lives for the sakes of selfish humans..Just put up a warning that "they swim at their own risks", these creatures have to live in this environment, so its bloody selfish too endanger them, bloody selfish swimmers
Uhuh. Now go say that to the face of everyone who lost a family member to a shark attack.
Absolutely agree with you!
Sharks are in virtually every body of water...
they should educate their children then, AND i'm no stranger to losing my only child! so dont try that one on me!
Then they should heed any warning signs shouldn't they, people should swim out too deep, sharks do not favour shallow waters, its very rare!
Bless your hearts for saving a precious soul. Thank you.
It's amazing how calm the mother is. She's smart enough to recognize that they're trying to help her baby and not hurt him.
7:16 I’m clapping and crying tears of joy! Thank all of you!
What a beautiful beautiful whale!!! Wow!!! That shot from inside the water was priceless!!!! Just gorgeous!!!!
YOU GUYS ARE SOO BRAVE. I’M AMAZED AT HOW MOMMA TRUSTED YOU TO HELP HER BABY…BEAUTIFUL
You guys are absolute heroes - a great day’s work. The mother and calf were so calm they knew you were helping them. So so moving.
Watching these just warms my heart knowing some people still care
Well done seaworld research for helping the baby whale keep up the good work
Australians truly love their ocean and sea lives. God bless them and their good effort here.
It’s amazing how smart these creatures are; one holds on to the other ones shirt so he doesn’t fall overboard
Oh you guys thank you so much I can't believe how close to shore they were they knew you were there to save them a beautiful day 💙
this had to be an AMAZING experience.. I wish I was helping them 🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕
Goodhearted, brave and professional dudes. Thank you for being who and what you are. Awesome.
We love you so much guys for all you do!!! We will forever support you!!! ❤️
That was beautiful tosee. Thank you so much to the rescuers - and for the upload!
Thank you for caring for the Gentle Giants! 🙏♥️🐳🐋 🖖That Mama has got to be very thankful that you helped her little one. 👍💋
Thank you for everything you do to help these beautiful creatures! True embassadors of Humanity!
Truly sentient organisms. Beautiful creatures that once walked on land. Protect these beings! Thanks for your help guys!
Damn! shark nets should be banned!!
they dont talk about how there's more shark attacks in Australa than rest of world combined
Deyaa Ali yea...they should let the sharks swim right in and snatch up swimmers
Swim at your own risk. No nets.
That's FL, not Australia. But close. @@marknewlin1
Yes, enter the water and know you are part of the food chain.
My Dad and I always fished commercial with hooks straight down and never had a sea mammal get engaged with it, but we were forced out of commercial fishing by gill netters in the 70s. CA FINALLY stopped the practice a few years ago, but the damage was done to the fishery and sea mammals as well.
All they have to do is keep an eye out for them from the air and clear the water when they are too near humans.
Thank you so much for saving them, thank you!
I hope that people see there is more to Sea World than "exploiting" animals. They do a lot of good too.
Great rescue job done there guys, well done!
STOP 🛑 USING NETS TO KEEP SHARKS OUT....If people want to swim, go the public swimming 🏊♀️ 🏊 pool
Very true! Proven that the majority of sharks are caught on the inside of the net. Nets are just false security. Not worth it 😪
Elli Mae those are disgusting
Yeah, or at least develop nets that ARENT designed in a way that makes it possible for whales or large fish to become entrapped. Seems like a no brainer!
Yeah!!
@Mystery Bag We moved from NC to the Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Pa corridor when I was 12. I was used to clean, warm water beaches in NC and SC, but when we first visited a few New Jersey beaches in the early 80s, we were shocked to discover the requirement for beach visitors to PAY to go there, in the form of "beach badges". It was a total ripoff, considering the beaches of Ocean City NJ, Atlantic City etc, were nowhere near as clean as their NC & SC counterparts, and the water was cold, and filled with jellyfish! There was even this huge drain pipe that carried drain water from the city, across the beach and into the ocean! No idea where exactly that water came from(street gutters maybe?), but it just added to the ambience of nastiness at Ocean City NJ..... The beaches at Long Beach Island and certain areas of Wildwood NJ were half decent, but still..... The Delaware beaches weren't much better, but they are MUCH more expensive to rent or buy real estate vs the MUCH nicer oceanfront communities in NC and SC! I had 2 acquaintances whose parents owned 3 floor waterfront townhouses in Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island De, and they rented those townhouses for $1500 a week, way back in 1990! I could've rented a 15th floor ocean view condo in Myrtle Beach at that time for approx 1/3 that price, and I can promise you that there's a HELLUVA LOT more to do in Myrtle beach than in Fenwick or Bethany De! Those 2 small resort towns are pretty much devoid of anything aside from lots of townhouses and homes. There's practically no other entertainment options other than the cold-water beaches there! That whole dynamic has always been a complete mystery to me!
It's 4 years later but I am still impressed with these people. Beautiful animals!! Thank you, Sea World.
The beautiful, gentle giants are already endangered from hunting! Thank you for the rescue and sharing it❣️🇺🇸🙋♀️
Bravo! Great job guys. Thank you for your service. Btw, Sea World? Ah... _that_ Sea World?
That's bery smart of the baby calf to lift its tail to finjsb off the rescue..it was nit only trusting the rescue team, but it was actualy helping them!
Warms my heart to see such amazing help from humans for the amazing animals we have here🙏🏼 bless their souls and thanks for their love and help🙌🏼❤️
You go Sea World Australia. Great job, I'm sure that Momma was grateful to you for saving her baby. God Bless you.
Well done guys! The shark net needs TO GO!!! Better to have a human eaten by a shark than a baby whale suffocating in this net IN THEIR OWN OCEAN! Shameful human beings!
Precisely, I agree with Lass
I agree with Lass. If you don't want to get bitten, don't go in the ocean. As simple as that. Your own choice. The selfishness of humanity (because recreational swimming is like soooo important) is killing these magnificent creatures. We humans should take responsibility for our own actions and change our ways for the better.
Is there any reason why Sea World isn't lobbying the government to stop shark netting?
SeaWorld have their own set of secrets to expunge, this is a way of whitewashing that and trying to win customers. Otherwise the job would fall back to Coast Guard to organise, especially if the whale had died.
Yeah it's funny they're out there friend humpbacks and kidnap and orcas
@@barbaranocente519 Sea World hasn't taken orca's from the wild in several decades. Their supposed to even stop breeding orca's in the parks. But, they can't just release them in the wild either.
Seaworld has no COAL so nobody is listening.
You guys are my heroes!!! Thank you! ♥️
Thank you, guys, for saving both mom and baby. 🙏❤️
That's how you do video. No big production. Take out the dodgy parts and let the people see what you saw. Thank you.
2:15 - Mom = Stay calm baby, they are here to help, I know you are scared!
bless you seaworld employees....for doing a GREAT deed!
Thank you. You all are my heroes ❤️
these folks from the "Sea World Research and Rescue Foundation" are a credit to their Species.
I'd sure like to know what that mama was telling her baby during that process.
@BW MadDog [retired] I always figured it was along the line of: Mother: "Trust these ones but none of the others." Baby: "That makes no sense." Mother: "Just trust me."
These rescue vids always make me cry, especially if a baby is involved! Good mama whale...
Thank you! And thanks for letting us hear the rescue rather than playing music!
