As Leo sits on a rocky shoreline, she looks out at the majestic sight before her. A humpback whale breaching in the distance. After spending months on shore, helping their animal friends, today is a much-needed break for Leo as she spends the day watching whales out at sea. That is until she notices a young whale stuck in the nearby shallow waters. With the tide going out and the whale's breathing becoming laboured, Leo knows she has to act fast.

Leo wastes no time springing into action, she needs to get the whale back into deeper waters where it can breathe. Rounding up her team of young wildlife rangers, they head out on a rescue mission. But they soon realise they face a challenge, the young whale is seventeen meters long and weighs roughly thirty tons. Leo knows that their best chance is to get the humpback to flip over onto its side. So working as a team, the young rangers begin the challenging task of pushing against the whale, hoping to roll it back into the ocean.

During their attempt, Leo discovers that the whale is tangled in a fishing net. She knows this complicates their situation. Removing the net adds a further level of danger. After calling an expert to help cut the net, Leo and the rangers find themselves in a race against time. They work tirelessly, trying to free the whale. The waiting Game is tough as the tide is progressively going out and daylight hours are dwindling. Leo knows this only increases the risk to everyone involved.

Despite their best efforts, it's not until the evening that the young rangers and Leo finally cut the fishing net away, pushing the young humpback whale back into the depths of the ocean. Exhausted, but thrilled that their mission was a success, Leo and her team sit and watch as the whale swims off into the sunset.

As they load equipment back onto their boat, Leo and her team discuss what they can do to prevent similar situations from happening in the future. They know the greatest challenge is trying to protect the ocean and its inhabitants from human-made hazards.

As the sun sets and the team returns to shore, Leo remains deep in thought. Today's rescue has brought into focus the enormous challenges and risks that wildlife face every day. Leo knows this means that she and her young rangers must remain vigilant, willing to dedicate their time and effort in protecting the animal kingdom.

The Humpback Whale is an exciting episode that celebrates the beauty of these majestic creatures and highlights the vital role we all must play in protecting them.
