Entangled whale freed from nets after four-day rescue

More than 50 rope cuts were made to free an 11m (36ft) humpback whale off the coast of British Columbia, Canada.

According to the marine mammal coordinator for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the whale had probably been entangled in fishing gear for months and could have faced a tragic outcome without the intervention.
