![The moment a young humpback whale broke free after becoming stuck in shallow British waters. Experts had been worried after the animal became stuck between a pontoon and a Scottish Association for Marine Science lab. The deep-diving animal was stuck for a number of hours until the rising tide unexpectedly helped it swim free. Harbour assistant Jack Waldie, 24, captured a serene video of it swimming to freedom.
