SYDNEY - Authorities are now reviewing whether to use an inflatable sling in an attempt to unite a baby humpback whale with other whales in a bid to save its life.
A meeting will be held later today, involving National Parks staff and experts such as whale expert Dr David Blyde, from Sea World on the Gold Coast, to determine what to do next for the whale, National Parks spokesman John Dengate said.
This included assessing whether to euthanise the whale, or whether to tow it out to sea to unite it with another pod, he said.
"But that could be dangerous for the whale because, if it doesn't find a lactating female, it's just out there on its own and there's all sorts of sharks out there.
