Amazing Video: After Freeing A Whale Covered In Netting, The Creature Gives An Amazing Display Of Thanks

This is truly amazing. A whale near death, surrounded and bound by fishing nets floats hopelessly in the ocean… until a boat of caring people comes along – the group goes to great lengths to untangle, cut away, and work for more than an hour to free the animal. With a video camera capturing every suspenseful moment, the emotional climax comes when the whale is finally free. In what is clearly a joyful moment, the whale frolics in the air, splashing and breaching more than forty times in celebration, and perhaps gratitude.

Michael Fishbach narrates his encounter with a humpback whale entangled in a fishing net. Gershon Cohen and he have founded The Great Whale Conservancy to help and protect whales. Visit their websitehttp://www.eii.org/gwc, facebook page, and join them in helping to save these magnificent beings.
