Watch | Humpback whale swims free after being entangled in a fishing net

A humpback whale has swum free after beaching itself in shallow water in Moreton Bay in the Australian state of Queensland. The 12-metre whale was entangled in a fishing net after it came very close to the beach in just about one-metre water. Marine Parks rangers had to be called for help. The humpback swam out with the help of the rising tide soon after the net was cut.
