A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same. #whalerescue #fishermansnet #greywhale #oceanlife #marineconservation #marinewildlife #compassion #gratitude (at Catalina Foothills, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJxQZ5J-g06nsr-zD9GkOgIQGCIu_v1OBBnPw0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
