A humpback whale that took a wrong turn into a crocodile-infested river in Australia has safely returned to sea.
The whale was first seen in the Northern Territory (NT) river over a week ago, prompting fears it may get stuck in shallow waters or hit a boat.
Two others also swam into the East Alligator River for a short time before returning to their sea migration.
The remaining whale managed to find its way out over the weekend during high tides, Parks Australia said on Monday.
It is the first known instance of humpback whales in the river in the Kakadu National Park, on the country's northern coast.
