A team works together to save a big whale stuck in the Baltic Sea.

Rescuers saved a whale that was stuck in fishing nets in Poland. They were able to free the whale near a beach where people like to visit.

It took the rescuers about an hour to carefully remove the nets. A man named Konrad said the whale looked healthy, but the rescue was risky.

Konrad was worried because the whale could have easily knocked them into the water. He said the whale seemed to understand they were helping and let them free it.

The whale was much bigger than their boat, so they used special tools to help. They used long poles instead of knives to avoid hurting the whale.

Whales usually live in the ocean, but sometimes they accidentally swim into the Baltic Sea. The rescuers hope the whale will find its way back to the ocean where it belongs.
