Humpback whale finds escape from Australian crocodile river

A humpback whale that took a wrong turn into a crocodile-infested river in Australia has safely returned to sea.

The whale was first seen in the Northern Territory (NT) river over a week ago, prompting fears it may get stuck in shallow waters or hit a boat.
...
The remaining whale managed to find its way out over the weekend during high tides, Parks Australia said on Monday.
...
Officials had been monitoring the final whale closely since it was spotted up to 30km (18.5 miles) inland by people on boats.
