Scientists claim these whales have the biggest minds of any creature recognized to have lived. Maybe that intelligence allowed this whale to ask for help from a diver.
Sperm whales’ heads likewise hold large amounts of a substance called spermaceti.
As huge as they are, these whales are gentle and only feast on squid they locate when they dive down to the depths of the sea.
The diver is Hugues Vitry. He is a world famous Maurician environmentalist and underwater professional photographer, and in this video clip, he removed a small fish hook from the whale’s lower jaw.
He when freed a whale that obtained entangled in ropes. Vitry makes the effort to help and save marine life, claiming one person can make a big difference. He likewise says not to believe everything the media claims about the oceans.
The whale swims close to Vitry, moving its big body sideways before opening its jaw to show the diver that she needed help. One little hook caused this big whale discomfort. Imagine what big objects can do.
As the whale swims beside Vitry, he trains his cam on her narrating what was going on.
The translation is harsh however he claims the hook was by the whale’s tooth so, with some force, he was able to remove it from the whale’s mouth. The massive mammal remained calm the whole time.
Vitry himself feared when the whale seemed to linger for a bit after he tried to reassure the creature that it was over. The whale in return seemed to be thanking him!
Vitry froze for a bit before making his way to the whale once again. He hugs the big whale, pressing his head versus hers, as he whispered words of love to the when helpless mammal.
The whale, as big as it is, still required his help. They need our help. Let’s hope Vitry’s actions inspire many others to do the same.
