Australian veterinarians euthanized Friday a baby humpback whale that had been separated from its mother. Its health had deteriorated after being unable to feed on its own.
The 4.5-yard-long whale, dubbed Colin, was guided by wildlife officials close to the shore in north Sydney, raised onto a tarp and pulled into a beach tent, where it was administered a sedative to calm it before being injected with a lethal dose of anesthesia.
