Saving Baby Whale – level 3

22-10-2018 15:00

Aerial and underwater footage shows Sea World rescuers free a whale calf which became caught in shark nets off of Australia’s Gold Coast.

The calf’s mother swam around its baby as rescuers arrived at the scene and got to work. The disentanglement was successful and the animal was free after 45 minutes.

The calf only had some superficial wounds from its ordeal, and people later saw it swimming away with its mother after they released it.

Difficult words: aerial (from the air), calf (a young whale or a cow), disentanglement (the act of disentangling – freeing something that they are entangled with – caught in), superficial (on the top surface, not deep), ordeal (a difficult event).
