A 65-foot whale has been saved by fishermen during a three hour rescue operation after it became beached off the coast of Chile.
The huge creature was rescued after a lengthy rescue operation was staged to tow it back out to sea.
Video footage shows beach-goers, who had been surfing, struggling to move the whale as it was rocked backwards and forwards by the waves.
Thankfully a group of fishermen came to the aid of the whale and managed to help the surfers free the distressed animal.
