Whale Rescue Burleigh Heads
Out taking some morning photo’s, when I notice a baby whale caught in the Shark nets off Burleigh Heads. I rang the police who get the Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries who are in charge of the net to start the rescue. The men and woman from the Fisheries and Sea World did a fantastic job in freeing the entangled baby whale. They where two very large whales (the mother and escort???) swimming around the baby and staying very close while the rescue was performed. (by a very experience whale rescue team) ....."The sooner we know that we have an entanglement, the better chance we have of a successful release," he said.

Queensland Shark Control Program Manager Tony Ham said public assistance was needed with reporting suspected entanglements.
"Anyone who sees a whale or other marine life entangled in shark control equipment can call the 24-hour hotline on 1800 806 891.
"With a significant increase in the whale population - approximately 12,000 now migrating each season - entanglements are anticipated at this time of year as the population makes its journey back to southern waters," Mr Ham said.
Including today's entanglement, since 2000 28 whales have been caught in shark control equipment in Queensland.
Of these entanglements, 25 whales have been successfully released...Congratulation to all.........

A few nice names for animals images I found:
Whale & Walrus Bacula
Image by Travis S.
Baculum is the name for an animal's penis bone.
Oosik is an Alaska Native termed used for the same object of large arctic mammals.
Above is a walrus oosik which can get to about 2 feet (60cm) long and could be used for a variety of things including war clubs. Below that is a whale oosik, (maybe of a bowhead?) which looks to be about 5 feet (150cm) long.
I've never seen one of these before or read or heard about them in the literature.
See a different view focusing on the proximal portion.
