Scuba diver cuts 33 foot sperm whale free from ropes
The ropes anchored the whale to ocean floor
After hearing about a tired whale whose lower jaw got entangled with a rope eight miles off the coast of Mauritius, a brave diver named Hugues Vitry knew he had to help. Mr. Vitry said that he could see the fear in the whale’s eyes, like that of a frightened horse, so he had to stroke him to calm him down.

I watched til the end; it was nerve wracking. I am not sure they got all the rope off; it looked like he swam away with things still attached.

Video ends before he swam off.

Now the whale is free again to eat thousands of fish a day. :-)
Seriously, this is a good story. I hope it did all come off.

Text on the video says the whale dived deeper but the ropes came floating to the surface. sounds like it ended well.

"until a nearby boat spooked the whale..." Humans just don't understand that petting the bison proves their stupidity.
"I simply MUST get a look at the trapped whale. DURRRHH@!"

Diver strokes supermarket whale. That what it says.
They could have worded things better.
