A Whale in DANGER!!




Known for it’s complex songs and outstanding breaching, the humpback whale is one of the most loved mammals in the WORLD!

One day while motoring in the refreshing waters of the Cortez sea, whale investigator Micheal Fishbach, his family and friends had an unlikely opportunity to help one of these most AMAZING creatures.

 As they were boating Micheal and his passengers identified a humpback whale floating in the sea. There were no signs of life. Suddenly, the creature forcefully exhaled, sending water spraying!! It was alive.

 Severely entangled in a nylon net, the whale was close to death. Micheal swam up to the whale. Snorkeling around it, he realised that the tail fluke and pectoral fins were. The whale was not only frightened and fatigued, but so was Micheal.

It was time to cut it free. 1 small knife was the only thing they had. The tail fluke was tangled tragically in the nylon. The pectoral fins were dangerously pinned to the side of the alarmed whale. A frantic hour of cutting and exhaustion, Valentina(the Whale), was free.

 As they boated back to shore, breaches and tail slaps were preformed by Valentina as a gratitude of thankfulness. A marvelous display was put on for over an hour.

 This emotional story is full of happiness and sadness. I hope there are absolutely NO violence towards whales! EVER!!
