Concerns about a baby whale abandoned off Sydney's northern beaches are growing after talks with US experts failed to come up with a way to save the animal.
The NSW Environment Department says a decision will have to be made soon about whether to destroy the baby humpback, which is swimming in Pittwater.
The Department's John Dengate says it has been speaking with US experts about ways to feed the animal so that it can live.
"They're advice to us was unless you've got a 30 megalitre pool that you can drain every two hours, unless you've 30 people who can jump on the whale and restrain it, unless you've got some really sophisticated facilities, you can't do it where you are," he said.
