SAN DIEGO, Calif. The whale, which is 15 to 18 feet long and weighing about 3,000 pounds, was rescued by SeaWorld crews from rocks at Torrey Pines State Beach near La Jolla Underwater Park on Sunday, a spokesman for SeaWorld San Diego said.
The rescue team treated the whale with antibiotics before turning it loose.
"It swam away freely on its own, another good sign," said David Koontz, director
of communications for SeaWorld.
"We are hoping it stays at sea," Koontz said.
