Credit: Scott WilsonSea World’s Wayne Phillips says crews had to carefully plan the cutting of the net. Credit: Sea World FoundationMaking the wrong cut, he explained, could have left the animal with a “mobile entanglement” — meaning it would swim away dragging still parts of the net with it — putting it at serious risk as it continued its migration.Despite the tangled mess, the calf’s injuries were minimal as the team was able to make a strategic cut to remove the rope just over an hour into the operation.“We were all elated we could get the calf free,” he said.“Everyone worked together really well.”Phillips described the moment the calf swam free as “amazing,” especially after such a traumatic experience.“Mum took her under her wing and off they went,” he said.Rescuers work against fading light to free a trapped calf during its migration south.
