Australian parks and wildlife service workers stand next to the body of a whale calf in Pittwater, 40 km (25 miles) north of Sydney, August 22, 2008. The orphaned whale calf which had been suckling from a yacht in a Sydney bay in a futile bid to find its mother was given a lethal dose of anaesthetic on Friday as its condition deteriorated, Australian wildlife officers said.
