Thanks to the AFP for this photo... I am sitting here at my computer, in shock and disbelief that authorities had to euthanize that poor baby whale that was abandoned by it's mother off the waters of Sydney Harbor, Australia. The baby humpback whale was first spotted last Sunday and was believed to be about two to three weeks old, and was probably abandoned because it was ill, so they say.

Keep Exploring" logo (a clever marketing coup). As a one year...
