Volunteers and emergency services came to the rescue of a baby humpback whale stranded on a well-known tourist beach in Rio de Janeiro state on Monday.

After it was coaxed back into deeper water, local firefighters on boats were able to guide the calf further out into the South Atlantic Ocean, Brazilian media reported.
