The dolphin calf was spotted swimming away with its mother after the rescue.
A dolphin calf which had become completely entangled in fishing nets has been saved by the crew of a wildlife tour vessel.
Skipper Joesph Pender, said they initially thought the calf was dead but they knew they had to try to save it as soon as it started moving.“As it was only a calf we pulled it onboard through a side door,” he said. He said he only had “a few minutes” to cut the baby dolphin free, adding: “We didn’t want to keep it out of the water for very long".
He told ITV News West Country that the calf swam away with its mother as soon as it was put back into the water.
