Sperm Whale Asks Divers For Help Removing Trash Tangled In Its Mouth


Imagine that dental floss is attached to a bunch of old food and other stuff, wrapped around the bottom of your jaw, and you don’t have any arms. Are you imagining it? Well, you might have an inkling of how a sperm whale felt in the Indian Ocean.

The poor creature approached a group of divers, seemingly asking for help.

The whale swam directly up to them, mouth agape and dragging all sort of detritus. When the diver cautiously approached it, it left its mouth open and allowed her to pluck the tangled pile out, piece by piece.

A sperm #whale swam straight towards a diver, its mouth wide open and filled with various debris. As the diver carefully neared, the whale kept its mouth open, allowing her to remove the tangled mess bit by bit.

Afterward, the whale lingered in the area, staying near the surface with the divers as if expressing gratitude. Before diving back into the depths, it gave the divers an unforgettable photoshoot and a memory that will last a lifetime. #whales #amazingnature #nature
