Whale beached in western Japan, rescued
Fishermen and police officers work to guide a debilitated whale, beached in Anan, western Japan, back into the ocean on Jan. 20, 2016. Around 200 onlookers cheered their efforts to free the 10-meter-long mammal, believed to be a sperm whale. While continuing to splash seawater on the whale's skin to prevent it from drying, the rescuers put a rope around its body and pulled it free with a boat. The whale then swam into deeper waters.
