Beached Humpback Whale Swims Free ©2020 Wild Earth Expeditions

- Today we witnessed a beached Humpback whale free itself.
It struggled, as the big seas, surge and waves kept slamming it amongst the sharp oyster-covered rocks. It was exhausted, seriously cut up and kept getting flipped over. A NSW park ranger was on site managing the situation, not allowing anyone near this 20-30 ton wild animal. After many attempts and with some luck with the incoming tide, it eventually was able to free itself. The handful of bystanders were all cheering as it slowly swam out to sea, heading north on its migratory path. We haven't heard of any injured or beached whales further up the coast and hope this animal survives and is back on its migratory path.

Hope he survived. There were some nasty wounds there.
Yes he swam away and there were no reports of any beached whales along the coast, so we hope with all of our heart that it survived
@@WildEarthExpeditions I sincerely hope that the wounded whale recovered. Perhaps there could be a medical help team on call for future treatment.Thanks for posting this video clip.
It must have been heartbreaking to watch this. The desire to help but unable to do so, but through verbal support. I can't imagine the joy you felt when the whale swam away
It was extremely tough, my 2 little girls were crying and all we wanted to do was hop in and just try to somehow help or comfort it. But as mentioned, it was simply too dangerous to hop in with the heavy surge, oyster-covered rocks but especially with a wild 20-30ton animal thrashing around trying to free itself. The relief we felt when it finally freed itself was beyond description, we were all overwhelmed with joy and hope that it would make it. As you know, most strandings don't end well. It was lucky to have the tide on its side.
@Alex G yea, call aqua man...
@Alex G Park ranger was on site as well as a dolphin/whale conservation lady. Nobody was allowed near the animal...which would have been very dangerous....20'000-30'000kg thrashing wild animal in distress in heavy swell and oyster-covered rocks!
@Alex G I absolutely agree with you Alex, it's exactly what I was thinking too!
@Alex G oh sorry. Sometimes I dont read the other comments before posting my own. I'll delete it
Poor guy got really injured form those rocks
Yeah he did😪
Really?
That's sad 😪
Fairly sure those were propellor wounds :(
Looks like a young one. 💔😢 I hope he/she is still alive and doing well! 🙏❤️
Yes, its size indicated it to be a young whale.
He must have been SO tired after all that, poor guy, I hope he made it to wherever he was going!
We hope so too.
I hope he survives. I cried seeing those wounds and him lapping against the rock, oh gawd!
Y
If you help all kind in any animals, god give is big blessing too.. thnks brother,
Well, thank you so very much to this group or family that filmed it, the beaching of this humpback whale! Thank you so much for your interest and concern!
I really hope he can survive this adventure...
We do too!!!
She didn't.
I guess I need to see why whales beach themselves. Was whale sleeping, sick,chased to shore..seem like it had a lot of life still.
People ask why nobody helped.
100 people couldn't move a ton at dead weight.
Glad it got free. Those cuts are sad to see..hope whale survived.
you're absolutely right. it was a joyous moment watching it swim away. We called out our best wishes for a safe journey and recovery
This was a nail-bitter.....glad to see luck (and high tide) was on his side! :-)
How long was the whale there (or did you witness?)
That was a bit agonizing to watch, as it's not possible to safely help something that large. All those scratches, and I can't imagine the weight without buoyancy.
for his size I'm surprised he kept flipping so the sea must have been stronger than it looks on film
Yes, and I’m no well expert, but that whale looked pretty banged up and was probably and acted really weak…
Humpbacks and Sperm whales sometime beach themselves in the process of trying to escape from Orcas. Those wounds looks very similar to the bite marks of an orca. Hopefully the young whale survived. Nature can be cruel at times.
Its bleeding.. :'(
Por dios que angustia!!! Bravo por ella...!!!!
how did the whale get into that situation in the first place???? I wonder if the whale ultimately survived.
Как бы не было печально, но дни этого кита сочтены...
Que bom que teve um final feliz
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Dieser Wal ist verletzt niemand hat ihm geholfen er hat eine grosse Wunde 😢🇩🇪 du kannst hofen das er das überlebt hat
I wonder how fast he was going to not sense or see the shoreline or rock wall before beaching.
She was already exhausted and tired and hurt too! he was probably stuck there for a long time. they should call biologists or firefighters to rescue her. but They are intelligent animals! and with your positive strength they helped you. thanks to God he broke free and returned to his wonderful and precious destination ... the sea.
Thats incredible, she was tired out of oxygen and injured, but life always finds a way, she wanted to live.
Po...pq nao pediu ajuda??
Obrigado meu Deus, por este Grande livramento da morte, pra este animal tão lindo e puro. Glória ao senhor Jesus cristo por toda a eternidade. Pastor; Reginaldo Barbosa, Brasília DF
Amen!!!
So thats how they look when breached wow well you need a craine and help it or 100 men cause that a heavy animal
Yes they are certainly very large
@@WildEarthExpeditions are you a marine biologist
@@ramauldramharack2138 We are an expedition travel company and hire Marine biologists to assist with our expeditions. We are also Dive instructors and have had the chance to see these magnificent creatures in the wild (both above and below the water) up close on many of our global adventures.
@@WildEarthExpeditions i always wanted to be a marine biologist
@@WildEarthExpeditions if it was a case where the whale couldnt get out of the shore you have the obbligation to *help* and call specialized rescuers, marine police with special equipment to push him back to the sea!!!
I think that whale just wanted to surf some killed waves! 😂😂
Need help
傷が痛々しい。。海に帰れて良かった
すごくきれいな海。。どこ？
Too bad ,there wasn't??? Any place to call for help
I'm sure that everyone had a cell phone!
Hopefully the whale survived its apparently severe abrasions...
I'm glad he got free. It's like there's nothing you can do to help it because it's so big. All you can do is wait and hope for the best.
Yes, it's sad, but true, especially under those given circumstances in a very remote place, all you can do is hope that mother nature will take care of it. This animal was lucky that the incoming tide allowed it to swim free.
was there any whale rescue groups near ?
In fact there was a NSW park ranger on site managing the whole event.
@@WildEarthExpeditions well that's something at least
Nothing can be done it was just simply everything c as me together preserving waves and current...
Nature Help New Life to Live
Nice 😊
The whale is a big meal for some great whites waiting for him out there . They smell the blood 🩸🦈
Thanks FOR YOUR niche video I love form Bangladesh
Cool
When he swims of its like "that was a rocky situation"
Another sad case of humans preventing a whale from evolving into a land mammal.
Pls rescue that..
4r c55iyjb0. Ford Taurus
honestly I'm glad it was a small one if he was larger he probably wouldn't have survived , thankfully he was not large enough to get crushed by his own weight
Hope can survive
he made it or he died
He swam freely away on his own accord. We watched him swim in the bay, before heading north on his migration route. We listened in to all the reports we could and didn't hear of an injured whale further up the coast. We wish this whale all the best
Yes, but as some fellow said and I thought that couldn’t orcas easily get that whale, no?!
@@gaymichaelis7581 Orcas are a rare site on the east coast. More likely Great White sharks, but remember these are strong animals with a serious kick to their fluke...so hopefully he gained some strength back and is ok
Por qué no yamaron a la guardia costera
It's older
How do you know the whale is older?
Most of these kind of animals come near to beach when they have wounds as bleeding wounds ar prone to their attackers particularly the sharks.
junk to think Nipponese would roll this up into a bento flake sushi!
Apparently they are considering if aliens will be edible or not.
Wow
Он ранен. Его всеравно акулы сьедят.
It's bleeding
Yes it was bleeding. The rocks were covered in oysters and it's a very heavy animal. It took a heavy beating but it eventually swam free and hopefully is ok.
Устал бедняга. И такие раны.
To see the life of wild animals closely, watch this channel
The whale was badly injured, he cannot survive long in the sea, it was so sad to see the wound of its body.
E melhor ir lá ajudar deque ficar ....
Personne ne las aidé ???
Wasn't that a calf? Seemed awful small to me. Don't know how dependent it would still be on it's mother at this stage. Amazing it was able to get itself turned around.
More likely a teenager. Yes was really incredible to watch. There were times where we thought it's all over...and then it just kept fighting and luckily eventually the tide was on its side and it was able to swim free. Heart breaking to watch
@@WildEarthExpeditions - yes it was. Poor thing got pretty beat up in the process. Hope it does ok.
哈利路亞感謝讚美主阿們💪
Its just exhausting to watch
Oh noooo
Sad part is that hes being crushed by gravity
Lucking there were not any coastal brown bears around. Or it would have been sushi.
No bears in Australia mate
Poor guy
Where was this at...Hawaii
Australia East Coast in Hat Head National park
@@WildEarthExpeditions Thank you
lucky dude
يا لطيف أقسم لى قلبى مسكينة الحوت
Why don't you push the whale into the sea? Why stand and watch?
Amém
This was tuff to watch....
Rookies sit back and let the whale Waller around painfully before being able to go back to sea....😪😪😪😪😪...
УШОЛ В ГЛУБИНУ, УМНИЧКА!
When he flipped over he drowned.
Don’t you think it was good that he flipped over?! That he needed to do that?!
😢
Oh my God... None tries to help it... They just watch it...
a bit of human interaction wuddnt go amiss fcol
Impossible in the heavy swell from the storms. We were advised by a NSW Park ranger who was one of the few bystanders, that we were not permitted to enter the water. This is a 20-30 ton wild animal in a oyster-covered rocky bay with large swell hitting the animal. The whale did the best it could and eventually freed itself while we tried to comfort and support it verbally from the position we were allowed to be in. This is all we could do. And as much as we wanted to jump in, not only would it have been extremely dangerous, but we may have jeopardised the survival of this animal
The water was too shallow for a boat to help haul the whale back in. Imagine if the whale accidentally rolled onto someone...
To me those wounds seemed like sun and sand burns u couldn't really see anything like a bite mark also those people just sitting and watching is kinda mind blowing sounded like there were enough people to help this whale now i no it was big and powerful but I've seen it done the beast laying on its internal organs like that im surprised it swam off anyway this video was really sad to me so now im gonna go cry at the beach
Шу бола узбек булса керак чунки кулини куксига куйиб гапиргани учун мингта ,,😗B-)👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍(+_+)
Orca on their way
That’s exactly what I was thinking! That this poor humpback probably or may not have made it! I err on the side of may not!
Honestly those people,they couldn't have done anything there but I loved the fact,they stayed and cheered for the whale to get back into its home safely.
Humanity exists
Gratitude reciprocates
Thank you for your generous and thoughtful words. It was a tough moment and it broke our hearts to have to stand by and watch on without helping. Calling out felt like the only supportive thing we could contribute. We do feel it helped.
@@WildEarthExpeditions Brilliant ❤️❤️
Clicked thinking this was a fat joke.. damn it!
Put them in deep water
Deep breathe 😰
Did noone else notice she has a baby with her?
There was no baby....
you didnt give her a push! 😡😡😡
Sorry i meant not training but trying to swim it's computer prediction mistake Sorry 😅
It looks like killer whales might have beached him. Not an expert but the wounds look deep
The wounds were most likely from the sharp rocks and oysters he kept getting banged up against. Orcas are a very rare site on the NSW East coast.
He's fine
He was definitely a lot battered but he managed to get back out to sea :)
We hope!? But who’s to know really?! Not to be a pessimist, just a realist…
Странный торчок у кита...
This was hair raising to watch. I kept wishing for someone to call the Whale folks wherever this happened so the whale could get a shot of anti biotic. Was there anyone they could have called? In my area we would have had a lot of resources to call to help. But that isn't true everywhere. Glad he got free.
Park Ranger and a lady from some Dolphin/whale organization were some of the few people on site. At the time there was a massive storm offshore for days, hence the big residual swells (this was the time when many beaches were washed away all along the NSW coast, even some properties were at risk being washed away). Would have been way too dangerous to get in there, even with a boat. Again these are very large, heavy wild animals in distress. Also, we were in a very remote area...no big towns or boats around (also big seas marine warnings). Anyhow, hopefully, there was a happy ending as it swam free in the end, even if very exhausted.
الحجر قطع جلده
Oh my God, heartbreaking to watch! Were there orcas swimming around? I wonder 🤔
No orcas around. It's rare to see Orcas on the Aussie East Coast.
@@WildEarthExpeditions It's just that some time ago, around 2014 or 2016, in the west coast of Scotland (I'm from Glasgow), there was a camera crew that captured orcas trying to kill a calf and believe me when I say that Mummy was doing everything in her power to protect her baby whale, EVERYTHING ! They got away eventually saved by other adult whales who heard the "crying" or "scream" call. Anyway, I Love orcas (I LOVE EVERY LIVING BEING) but that is too much for me to watch. Don't get me wrong, the orcas have to eat but as a human... do you understand ? Too much for my heart being a Taurus if it really means something! PEACE!
Whale was young and not too big. And none bitch tried to help him pushing him on tide-offs. Didn't want to get wet, I understand.
Why didn't anybody call emergency help? Get a boat out there with rescuers somebody to help. Just wait for high tide. Poor whale.
😭😭😭😭
No no
I really think there should be an organization that instead of trying and hoping that these whales get back to the deep,should get there stomachs pumped, x-rayed ?? Something ??
I bet my life there a few 100 lbs of plastic in her belly 😞😞😞😞
Why did those folks help him instead of standing there filming!!!!!!😤
I was thinking the same thing
The thing is you'll need more folks to move that thing and there like only one family with children in there
I also thought the same.
@@sleekchaser3049 well I could hear a man then some people cheering it sounded more than one family
I hate to say but you gotta be slow in the head to see why no one helped..its like moving a rock that weighs a ton..go down there and get crushed.
Хоть бамакли бы
Dovevate aiutarla!!
I be so excited watching whale training swim back and some fu**ing idiot just shield the whole panoram 😬
😳🤦♂️🙏🏻🤓
Why let d whale suffer more instead of calling d authority to give rescue
The NSW park ranger was on site before we even got there. He was managing the site and not allowing any human interaction to keep everyone safe because the conditions were dangerous. This is a 20-30 ton wild animal stuck against oyster-covered rocks in a heavy swell.
Yeah plus those waves looked very strong
