Wayward Whale Photos

A northern bottle-nosed whale which became trapped up river, is transported down the River Thames on a barge, past HMS Belfast, right, and Tower Bridge, background, in London, Jan. 21, 2006, back to the open sea. The 17-foot-long whale is normally seen in the deep northern Atlantic, diving deeply and traveling in pods and can reach lengths of 26 feet - the size of a traditional red double-decker London bus.
