The US doesn’t dump trash in the ocean, and I doubt European countries do either. But, the third world countries do. All of the pictures that came out some years ago, about the supposed garbage island in the Pacific, were all taken at the mouths of Asian rivers. It’s a hoax, and so is recycling. Barely anything we recycle actually gets recycled. I think it’s all about control, and so is the climate agenda. One thing, though, that must be stopped is fisherman leaving their nets in the ocean. That’s what trapped this whale.

[@doofkos]

Of course it's somehow joy and salvation but at least the tail slapping at the end is definitly a form of communication. Whales usually communicate with each other acoustically, but also by fin-slapping the surface,particularly in the event of danger or bad weather and rough and noisy seas. _Breaching_ is suggested to be "honest signalling", signing that you are physically fit - or all free. Looks like scientists need more emotional intelligence, because the small child understands a message in a few minutes for which scientists needed decades and large amount of studies. Sometimes this breaching/jumping out of the water was also observed right after exceptionally long dives. It could be the whale: *_"I'm back."_* But to shame the scientists completely, this clever child is probably even right that the whale communicated with _them._ The noise of a lobtail or breach travels much less well than that of a vocal call. Since the sea isn't rough and noisy and there are no other whales around, but the whale chose this form of communication, only the humans are left, her saviors, with whom the whale wanted to "talk". PS: In addition, it must have been very important for the whale to do so, because this breaching costs a lot of energy.

I'm not saying that this whale was showing appreciation, but to assume that it doesn't have the capacity to adapt it's usual behaviour to a very unusual scenario, would be to place a brick wall around our understanding of these very mysterious creatures. Intelligent creatures that are providing more and more new and revealing information within studies that lead to scientific breakthroughs and broader understandings in general, the more time moves forward, as field experts and technology become more precise at analyzing. The whale was most likely communicating with its pod, like you said, but my issue is with your outright denial of it having the potential to be another, far less observed, type of interaction.

There are animals and people that need help everywhere, or just ourselves. Cut someone free from a seatbelt after a crash, a dog or cat may be entwined and strangling in a tree through their leash, a cow or sheep may be stuck in a fence. Tools are security, freedom and I dare say a duty for the wise mind. The same with guns [though they must be handled and stored responsibly like here in Europe to not cause more harm than good]. I've always carried a very small linerlock knife, we're not allowed anything else - though I often pack a multitool on travels as it's for reasonable use. I've helped a lot of people and yet they don't learn from it, even though I provided them the tool. In addition I have in my pockets a slender nail for poking etc, a paper clip for making new tools or fixing broken ones and a sturdy cord with a simple hook in one end and a magnet in the other for reaching further or tying up anything. Carry tools, be practical and stay safe! :]

Encountering a situation like this when I used to SCUBA always concerned me as a lot of dive locations do not allow the carrying of knives so I kept a pair of EMT sissors in a BC pocket. Such a wonderful save and experience for all.

​@@arlenbell4376Skip the knife or scissors. Go for a wire or bolt cutter. Very useful on board, but unlikely to be abused to harm sealife, especially shellfish I presume.

And don't forget your red banana hammocks

This is an incredibly beautiful story. It reminds me when growing up on Long Island and how my brother and I rescued a blue jay which had a broken wing and was dying in the woods. We brought the bird into our home and my older brother somehow fixed the wing and made a home-made sling. We cared and fed the bird for a two-week period until the bird was able to fly again. Our parents told us to free the bird when it was strong enough and after we did this, it came back to visit.

How could anyone dislike this. Such a beautiful thing. Bless all of those peoples hearts!

[@Qfungi]

The dislikes are whalers from Japan.

[@patrickcrowther6091]

Was awesome watching them at work to free her and then her appreciation of that

[@andrewtongue7084]

Quite so, Ginger :)

[@ceeceefontaine]

The dislikes are from people who are upset that so many whales etc are entangled in the first place. Sheesh it's really not that hard to figure out 😂🙈

[@urinetrouble0543]

They were crying and accidentally hit the dislike

[@thaigirl7152]
