Experts untangled a 13m piece of rope from the mouth and flippers of a young female North Atlantic right whale.The whale was sedated by the experts before the tricky exercise was attempted. It followed a first rescue bid off Florida, which did not remove all 50m of rope snaring the rare and gentle giant - one of only 400 left of its kind.
Scientists are now tracking the young animal to ensure it makes a full recovery.
