Humpback Whale Shows Amazing Appreciation After Being Freed From Nets (Video)
Whale researcher Michael Fishbach and a small crew discover an entangled and dying Humpback whale in the Sea of Cortez in near Northwestern Mexico. After a harrowing and exhausting journey of several hours, the crew, with only one small knife, with the cooperation of the whale manage to free this magnificent animal. Once loose the whale performs over 40 leaps, breaches and tail slaps as a sign of joy or appreciation or both.
