Navigating around a marina can take quite a lot of skill but one obstacle you don’t expect to have to sail around is a humpback whale! This extraordinary clip shows the whale cruising past the berths in Southern California’s Ventura Harbor. It may look a wonderful sight in the aerial drone footage but this sea creature was in trouble. It had got stuck in the harbor and had no idea how to get out. However, this story has a happy ending. We learn from the video notes that it was later lured back out to sea using underwater broadcast whale calls.

Where Do Humpback Whales Normally Live?
Humpback whales ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) are ocean creatures that are found in polar and tropical waters. They get their common name from their habit of rounding their backs when diving. You may spot them in the Atlantic, Arctic, and Pacific Oceans . However, some are also seen in the waters surrounding Antarctica. They spend most of their time in deep oceanic waters but as you see in this clip they sometimes venture closer to the coast.
