Volunteers disentangle whale calf from ropes in False Bay
CAPE TOWN - South African Whale Disentanglement Network volunteers have successfully disentangled a humpback whale calf from fishing ropes near Simonstown in False Bay, SAWDN spokesman Craig Lambinon said on Sunday.
''On arrival on the scene we found a humback whale calf entangled in rope around its body and fins and anchored to the sea bed. A larger whale was present which we suspect to be a family member of the calf. The whale appeared to be healthy and swam off strongly, accompanied by the larger whale, and SAWDN volunteers were confident that the operation had been successful. NSRI commended the crew of the RIB who stayed on the scene until the volunteers arrived.
