| AUSTRALIA: August 25, 2008 | ||
|
Australian parks and wildlife service workers stand next to the body of a whale calf in Pittwater, 40 km (25 miles) north of Sydney.
|
||
|
The orphaned whale calf which had been suckling from a yacht in a Sydney bay in a futile bid to find its mother was given a lethal dose of anaesthetic on Friday as its condition deteriorated, Australian wildlife officers said.
