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.
