\n This whale needs to check Google Maps.<\/p>\n

In what experts say is a very rare occurrence, a humpback whale got lost in a crocodile-infested Australian river on its way to Antarctica. While it\u2019s unclear how or why, exactly, the whale lost its way, scientists suspect it took a \u201cwrong turn.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as we\u2019re aware, this is the first time this has happ<\/a>ened,\u201d representatives for Kakadu National Park, where the river is located, wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n

The situation began early last week, when three humpback whales entered the East Alligator River (which, despite its name, is actually home primarily to crocodiles), \u201ca very unusual event,\u201d according to the statement.<\/p>\n

By Thursday, two of the three whales had managed to find their way out of the river, but one remained. Now, park staff are working to help free the final straggler.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have put an exclusion zone in place from the mouth of the East Alligator River to a point approximately 30 kms upstream,\u201d they detailed in the statement. The move is to protect both the whale and boaters. \u201cThe last thing we want is a collision between a boat and whale in waters where crocodiles are prevalent and visibility underwater is zero,\u201d they said. \u201cWe also don\u2019t want boats to inadvertently force the whale further up the river.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite being directionally confused, the whale is reportedly in good spirits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whale is not in distress at the moment, and it is not an emergency situation,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

In case the whale is unable to get out of the river soon, though, Kakadu\u2019s staff is putting together a variety of strategies to help it do so. \u201cThese options range from minimal intervention as we continue to monitor the whale, to actively intervening to attempt supporting the animal to move out of the river,\u201d the head of Kakadu\u2019s country and culture section, Feach Moyle, told CNN. \u201cThe highest tide of the year will take place in a few weeks, so there is a window of opportunity for it to be able to head out to sea.\u201d<\/p>\n
