(CNN) A humpback whale has swum free from a crocodile-infested river in Australia, after being stranded there for two weeks, authorities announced on Monday. It all began when three humpback whales entered East Alligator River in Kakadu National Park. They were spotted last Tuesday, a week after having entered the river, said a spokeswoman for the park, located in Australia's Northern Territory. The other two whales were thought to have left the area -- but one whale appeared to have gotten stuck in the river, home to a large number of saltwater crocodiles. A photo of the humpback whale, which swam out of the crocodile-infested river in Australia, posted on September 21.
