In Poland, a whale has been rescued from fishing nets

In Poland, rescuers and animal rights activists spent several hours freeing a humpback whale from fishing nets.

This is reported by Wirtualna Polska.

The photo of the marine mammal was published in social networks by the director of the Marine Search and Rescue Service of Poland.

The animal became entangled in fishing nets in the Baltic Sea near Polish Międzyzdroje.

In addition to the rescuers, representatives of the local nature park participated in the rescue of the animal.

A drone was used to accurately assess the situation. The national park employees approached the whale by boat.

It was they who freed the animal from the trap. It is reported that the rescue lasted only four hours.

In the waters of the Baltic Sea, humpback whales are extremely rare.

Scientists are still investigating the reasons for the migration of these large marine mammals.
