Mother Humpback Whale Freed from Fishing Net || ViralHog
Occurred on November 14, 2018 / Trinidad
"In this video, a mother humpback whale is freed from a fishing net and swims away with her calf. Heading to the second dive spot for the day, Captain Faizel and Dive leader Jeannot spotted a whale calf jumping frantically in the distance. We decided to veer off and check it out closer. When we got in the water, all we could focus on was this gigantic fishing net covering the mother. The net was restricting the whale's movements and badly bruising the skin probably for days. The video shows the series of actions taken to remove the net. When we finished, we pulled the net in the boat and it weighed about half a ton, it was brought back to land and discarded. The whole process took one and a half hours approximately, luckily I remembered to press the record button on my head-mounted GoPro this time!"

Can we acknowledge the fact that these guys did something so amazing, while putting themselves in danger? Thank you so much guys! Its because of people like you, that the world gets better.
Marine species not harm human
One must consider entanglement and possible other troubles. Even if the risk is low, complacency kills more divers and polits
@Hagbard Celine You dont know what you r talking about.
Not only did they free the whale but also removed the net from the sea. Really good guys!
Mereka juga punya hak hidup di planet ini .terima kasih atas kerja anda
I agree
I'm so glad there are people who are out there doing this for all animals. THANK YOU.
HUGE respect to you all involved. Not only is this an incredibly compassionate thing to be doing, but you have to be aware of so many things while doing this, and it takes some guts. I say this as an advanced Open Water Diver
Not only magnificent heart but also very brave, this rescue is very dangerous. My respects to you.
But the net could pull you in the deep.
@Jeremy Altink But the whale is like some passing freight train. BEWARE. Accidents happen !!!
@@charlesmichaels6648 they have a higher degree of control over their own bodies than you think they do, just take a look at the back pat that mom gave the lady lol.
Yeen. Fax
Enth paad? Poda Maire tallathe.
She knew Exactly where the diver was and didn't smack his head with her tail. What control.

We keep hunting. :( Japan is hunting whales again ;---;
Hugo Somaied Norway hunts whales pink boy. Whale Lives Matter.
@@Krasuel bomb japan...
@@sachinruparelia pretty sure we already did that... multiple times too!
Great compassion to our whale brothers, I salute your courage!
Coragem e muito amor!! Parabéns para esses anjos dos oceanos 🙏💪☀️🌊
Какие красивые гиганты! Спасибо спасателям!
Once she realized the were not a threat and we're helping her she was so gentle
Did she say that to you ?
Great! Congratulations!! It's really wonderfull that your do.😍
It was at Carnon plage in the mediterranée near Montpellier in France ! The beach name it's " Le Petit Travers ".
Yeah, that tail could have slapped you around so bad. She was clearly limiting her tail movements in order not to hurt you
@@bijuratish5891 no your mother translated for us 😂 jk have a good one
Hello, I am 7. I just wanted to say thank you for getting that net off the whale. 😁
God bless you to
Hi 7 I’m 8
QuIgYx wtf
I am 64 and I am also very thankful
I am 2 and i like whale soup
I have to say to these men good job good job. Me myself I'm scared of the Sea and the ocean and what's in it and I admire people who could help the animals that live in the sea thank you.
You are a group of people who are respected ... from the heart.
You guys are incredible human beings. Well done guys!!!!!
Fantastic loved the video you guys are the best
👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖
2:55 I really thought this guy would get slapped by the tail. Almost took my breath, but see how the whale kind of like dodge the guy. Wow it is just amazing.
Молодцы! Настоящие спасатели животных!!!)
U did a fantastic thing for her . thank you , u guys are my heroes. She was so gentle.
Insane how dexterous these creatures are. Once she felt the diver's scuba tank she instantly realised he was there and immediately drove her tail in the opposite direction in order to avoid hitting him
Thank you and God bless all of you
@Kyp Katarn shut up
@Kyp Katarn It is said demons get angry when they hear the word God 🤔
Beautiful people rescuing beautiful creatures
Pekerjaan yg mulia , semangat pantang mundur..... 👍👍👍 Love from indonesia 🇲🇨
Earth is still alive coz of such humans❤️ god bless you guys💙
Earth would have been just fine without humans lol
FeministMemes i feel the same!

These are awesome deeds rescuing big mammals but that said people overestimate the bad things humans do to the world as a whole. Local pollution yes, globally nope. Even terrible events like Fukoshima have NO devastating effects on the globe in total. Especially no LASTING effects (globally).
Thank you soo much. Respect from Germany ❤️🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Thanks so much! There are still good people who care about wild animal and nature. Thanks again for your great contribution!
People like you make the world a better place. If everyone thought and behaved like you , there can be paradise on earth. Respect for you grows after watching this video
Thank you from Russia 🇷🇺
Great job guys!! This world needs more young men like you! Thank you
3:30 "young men" 😂😂
Yes more and more ever
or better simply someone who designs and markets a one way biologically dissolving fishing net that dissolves itself after 30 days.
Arthur Heidt I don’t know if it can be done, especially one that dissolves but doesn’t leave a negative impact on the oceans ecosystem.
@@arthurheidt6373 Easier to redesign the net, eg Japan uses glass floats, to keep nets on the surface for retrieval. Perhaps fishing boat should report the loss of the net.....
total respect and thank you for taking care of our ocean wild life
Thank you handsome rescuer!!!😍😘
Thank u guys for being there. God bless you all. Greetings from Germany.
a wonderful video of humans with big hearts. The mommy humpback could have batted one diver to kingdom come but adjusted its tail fin down stroke to allow the diver to continue doing the rescue. Or so it seems. God Bless you chaps.
Thank you for doing such amazing actions 🙌🏼
THANK YOU GUYS ! Excellent work. God bless you. ❤️
What a wonderful and rewarding thing to do for this beautiful creature!! God bless you all for saving her!
Thank you. Hopefully there are like these men all over the ocean in the world.
Thanks for your hard work! We truly appreciate your kindness.. You are a hero..
Gracias a todos estos grandes hombres que luchar para liberar y proteger la naturaleza, muchas gracias y que dios les siga dando fuerzas y salud para seguirlos ayudando
these guys are the real aquaman!!
Thank you, heroes for Savings such a beautiful creature.
Compassion for animals is a great work. Greetings and appreciation to the team of this work
Really this is an excellent job.....thanks to all. We everyone should be kind to the animals as well as with the human beings.
2:55 looks like she appreciates
Felt same
That diver almost got slaped dude lol
Looked like a pat on the back.
High five😅
I love you guys, it breaks my heart seeing these poor sea creatures suffering due to humans. Well done.
Я в шоке так мало коментов и лайков люди жизнь спасли гиганту мира а в под конец гигант отблагодарил человек 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Thank you so much. You guys are wonderful human beings 👍👍👍
Good job guys......god bless you ....love from India
Love and respect for u all ...thank you so much
Bravos messieurs beaux travaille
Тысячи лет природа нас кормила и оберегала, ВЫ ребята возвращаете ей долг за всех. Храни Вас ГОСПОДЬ 🙏🐳❤️ Всех благ Вам.
Thank you everyone for having a compassionate heart. May God bless everyone! 🙏☺️
Thank you all for the kindness you showed, and helping one of Gods Beautiful living creations.
Is it my imagination, or did the whale ease off when he started cutting the net off her tail? It looked like she shopped swimming for a moment and held still till he cut the last bit that was clinging to a barnacle on her tail fluke, not to mention being very gentle when the other diver swam over, and wound up under her tail. That wasn't very smart on their part but she seemed very gentle all things considered. Given that she was escorting a calf, it wouldn't have been surprising if she had been more aggressive. Kudos to the divers though. Hopefully the mother didn't wind up ingesting too much of that net.
Yea I thought that to.
Thank you very much. Life saving and love of nature
Great job guys God bless you and your love of these mammals
Thanks for your time and kindness from IRAQ
These guys are ANGELS OF THE OCEAN! I salute you!!!
mikhailg74 and who ever left that finish net in the water is the demons of the ocean

👍 Молодцы ребята, всего вам самого доброго. Удачи вам всем. 🇷🇺
Great job for one of Gods great beasts, thank you!
We are all on this planet together, on this day, you showed great compassion for another living animal. Without your intervention she would still be alive but her life would be harder to live....If everyone could show the same level of humanity, the whole world would be a better place....
Great Job! God bless to all the rescue teams.
Vocês são verdadeiros heróis salvando os animais 😍💜💗
Fuckin stunning! People talk about aliens and other life forms when we have amazing creatures like this right here on earth ♥ . So majestic and beautiful. Kudos to these guys!
Yeah these are the people that give me hope for humanity and we are not such a evil species and care about ourselves.
@@TheKaijuGamer_ Don't worry, profanity isn't unnecessary in this case
Romel what?
why say a bad words?
Imagine swearing every time you speak🤡
Great thanks to all of you who are saving the animals of this planet affected by the ruthless behavior of mankind !!!
Wow...heading off the whale just to be able to get to her. She was moving at a good pace and she even seemed to slow down for you. Fantastic job. And jumping in at those speeds? Wow. You guys are awesome! Great job?
Thanks a lot for the helping. Hugh respect.......
Wow, that is a little scary when the tail twist over the diver but it turned out all right. You all did a wonderful thing!
I think it is Time to force fishing boats to number their nets everywhere....so whenever a net found....the boat must pay a lot....
Othaimin Yogarta excellent idea!
Absolutely! That way they are held accountable 👍🏼 brilliant
While we're at it let's solve world peace, abolish crime, and achieve world-wide equality for all human beings
@@goodcat1982 ok lets do nothing then and continue destroying nature.
make nets from hemp rope again
Thank you so much. You guys are amazing
