A North Atlantic Right Whale has given birth while entangled in fishing line off the coast of Georgia in the United States.
The whale has been known to wildlife conservationists for some time, however they have been unable to free it from the rope without further injuring it.
While the calf is reportedly healthy at this time, there are still concerns for the mother’s safety if the fishing line continues to cause further issues, potentially making the mother unable to care for the calf.
