A two year old right whale calf ensnared in fishing gear off the Georgia coast is free. Federal and state workers successfully cut the synthetic ropes to free the whale, entangled since mid January.

Only about 350 to 400 North Atlantic right whales remain, putting them among the most highly endangered of all whales.
