Flipping amazing... the moment a humpback whale 'thanks' rescuers who saved it from dying tangled in fishing nets
A humpback whale which was freed from almost certain death by three men off the coast of California repaid the favour to its rescuers with a breathtaking display of breaches and dives.
The amazing hour-long performance was caught on camera moments after the creature was cut free from fishing nets. When the boat came across the whale it was trapped with its tail and flippers hopelessly entangled in the nets.

Cool.
the london papers often have more and interesting news than the american papers.
Yeah. A lot of the news the Daily Mail does is from the U.S., too.
the london papers often report the black on white crime the american media ignores.
A real life “Free Willy” story.
Aww shucks..wish I could find a clickable video.
WOW That gave me chills. Interesting how she lay quiet while they cut the net away from her body. great thank You.

Here’s to folks who do the right thing, regardless of personal risk. I’m surprized they didn’t get imprisoned for interfering with endangered animals, posession of a knife with intent to cause property damage, and endless other regulations enforced by folks who make a living off of doing things with people’s taxes.
ping....
Is there a link to the video???
Thank you, Thank you! beautiful...
Thanks so much for sharing. The bravery of the young man in swimming out to the whale was amazing. And the whale’s patience while they cut away the netting. And then the performance! Just lovely. Man and nature - doesn’t get any better than this.
That’s one happy whale!
I am a cynical conservative animals are not human!
There is just something in my eye.
... anthropomorphism alert!
How does anyone know what whales think?
Heck, we don’t even know what women think!
