Whales charge shark net
Two whales charged at a shark net near Durban, South Africa, and ripped it apart to rescue their calf which was entangled in it.
Mike Manning, a surfer, said the adults made repeated attempts to free it before charging. "I was a few metres away. The young one had been caught by its tail and was making a lot of noise," he added. Durban - AP
