Scuba Diver Rescues Whale Friend with Ropes Tied Tightly Around Lower Jaw || Dogtooth Media
A brave diver saved a 'frightened' giant sperm whale that he has 'known' for a decade - by slashing through ropes that had become wrapped around its lower jaw and anchored to the bottom of the ocean.
After Hugues Vitry heard about a tired whale dragging a line of buoys eight miles off Mauritius on May 15, he knew he had to help the stranded animal, which he had been following since it was born in 2011.
Hugues jumped into the water alongside the 10 metre long giant and quickly spotted its jaw was entangled with rope that disappeared more than 2,000 metres to the Indian Ocean floor - dragging the poor creature's mouth wide open.

And how many die in the silence of the ocean in terrible torment? You are the real heroes.
😢💔
This is just heartbreaking. Thank you for working so hard to free this majestic creature.
Well done to that diver sadly the seas are full of our rubbish
Yes, I just hope more divers can help others in time
I'm quite sure that whale will recognize you in the future and show its appreciation. Thank you so much for helping.
There is a special place in heaven for anyone who does something like this for an animal. God bless you and thank you. You make my heart sing!
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Your deity doesn't have the monopoly on moral compass. Leave it be.
@@crystaladmin2632Oh but he does. No worries though. Jesus came to save the world and He did just that. Jesus Saves “All”!
Let'st stop dealing with silly fables and myths and deal in reality...heaven and hell are right here on Earth and it's up to all of us to make this place a heaven for us and the creatures who live here too.
Thank you for being decent human beings. It seems strange thanking someone for that, but in today's world, I don't think we see enough of it.
I'm sure if you search for it you will find plenty
The amount of gullible people in this comment section is unbelievable... The whale dives deeper, the rope magically untangles itself minutes later and floated the top. None of it caught on film though.. Even though one diver had to video so bad, he'd rather do that than help. Doesn't make any sense
Man I am so sick of the shit humans throw out.
Did he cut the rope? I see the end. Its till with rope
You go guy
The world needs more human beings like this man
The world could do without any humans
we need to BE more like this man.
Humans caused this, polluting the ocean and everything else
The world needs less human beings.
Well it would certainly help a lot if less people were of afraid of diving into deep water. Let alone brave enough to even swim up to a giant marine creature in distress.
There's a special place in heaven for people like this. And those who called for help.
Humans claim to be the most intelligent species , however , we do the most damage to animals and each other. Kudos for what you did, I am sure this animal was grateful for that kindness.
Anyone that helps an animal in distress, wild or domestic, not only deserves but commands respect. To ALL those who put themselves in potential harms way to do such acts.....I'm sure I can speak for many when I say THANK YOU.... you are appreciated much more then you'll ever know!
Amen.
Our Grand Creator,bless us with the responsibility to take care of these giant creatures....... Thank you for blessing all of us with these Random acts of kindness!
LoL yeah. Not everyone feels that way when your dodging cars for a turtle
Helping Gods creations are the least we can do. I’ve rescued many wild and domestic animals in my life. I’ve even been told I should have left the animal there, so disgusting. I don’t understand the mentality of some humans. Please people raise your children to care for people and animals.
Out. Their..... Are the cowards those without faith......Love Always Wins !
The whale stayed put. She knew he was there to help. This is why God put us here. To care for his Garden. Thank you Mr. May God repay you 10 fold.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
БОЛЬШОЕ СПАСИБО ЗА СПАСЕНИЕ УДИВИТЕЛЬНОГО ЖИВОТНОГО
Коробит от слова животное. Разумное существо, такое же
These actions by good men restore my faith in humanity. That whale will never forget the actions taken to help.
This kind of stuff should never happened, we need to be more responsible when using those enormous nets, anchors, ropes, markings and throwing trash in to the ocean.... marine life is suffering our own actions.
Yes we take to much for granted. We need to grow up and take responsibility for our own actions. And pray to God for forgiveness because your going to need it. Same as me .so there.
The damage they do by dragging huge nets along the sea floor is permanent. Eith coming food crisis worldwide we eill see much more abuse and destruction.
Don’t waist your time buddy !!!!!!! So many people don’t care !!!!!!!! They throw there trash out the window in the middle of the street in st.Petersburg ,Florida !!!!!!!! Total scumbags 🤬☠️
Those people that neglect to take care for the ocean will read your comment and changes their ways.
Yep and it's the sad thing ever imagine how many animals are lost just by eating the trash we throw away or lose because oh just throw it in the ocean
Thank God! I sooo was hoping that his jaw wasn’t broken! So very happy to see him freed! ❤️
Anyone who is closely watching and is not immediately believing the title and text in the video can see that whale was actually not freed and that it swam away with rope still attached to its jaw.
@@Z4N7that's what I was thinking. The way it was wrapped around surely couldn't just lift up and float away? Unless it's teeth could have cut through the rest. But then it couldn't move it's jaw. So confusing.
@@karenpiotte90Yeah,and as you mention its jaw,it doesn't look good. It looks opened way more than whale can normally do. I would guess that that jaw was at least dislocated,if not broken,unfortunately.
Спасибо Вам, добрые люди, за такие прекрасные дела! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for keeping the original, naturally recorded audio and not blasting "inspirational" music the whole time....also, thank you for including text explanations, instead of playing some rando's narration over it. I'd much rather read text while listening to the underwater sounds! (And if I have to listen to people speak over the video, it at least better be the individuals actually involved, the ones currently on screen.) ❤ Quick edit: I didn't mean to sound angry in this comment, I was actually just trying to be positive, but failed to communicate my tone! I am not actually this negative in real life don't worry lol. I like lots of videos that do fall under my "shitty" description. For example, I think The Dodo usually does a good job at balancing the perfect level of background music over their videos, they're expertly mixed, and when there is a narrator, they always have the narration done by the people actually involved in the scene they're narrating over. But, you know why The Dodo manages to pull this off while other channels fail? The Dodo has a sizable production team that they can afford to pay...full of talented hardworking people, who spend the time, money, and labor required to edit and mix the audio...and to track down the individuals involved with the video, then film & record Skype interviews with them, and then carefully incorporate it into their videos. You know how much time and work that takes to coordinate and schedule and then complete?? It's a lot! The Dodo has a group of talented individuals who put a lot of time & hard work into their videos. A small channel cannot pull this off. That's why we get so many videos with loud free "inspirational" music blasted over it, with a random guy loudly narrating over the whole thing. (And I put "Inspirational" in quotes because that's the name of the category used by libraries of free music. The quotations weren't there to say I dislike the music used.) I appreciate this video, because I don't think this channel could have pulled off what The Dodo could pull off with these same clips. So instead of trying to incorporate music, they just let the real audio play. And instead of putting in poorly recorded audio of narration that's not well mixed, they just stuck with large text explaining everything. And I appreciate that!
Un evento fantastico, più unico che raro. Il sub un eroe. Eccezionale anche il video
Thanks y'all who saved this wonderful whale. who or what could of done this to this beautiful whale.
You go through life being that picky?
@@donnasueharmon1166 sports dude ?. .
I also like not having any “inspirational” music playing, but I hate subtitles. I would have preferred their first hand account describing what they experienced while leaving the bubbling sounds as the ambient background. I too am that picky.
Commercial fisherman are partly responsible for this. They should have to pay into a fund that helps creators like this. They take fish for free, make money, and give nothing back. Kudos to this guy for helping.
Thank you to the divers. Whales are beautiful.
I've never ,seen this. You just restored my faith in mankind. Thank you.
He is so tangled up, thank you so much for helping these gentle giants. I love whales and dolphins.
fun fact orcas and sperm whales are in the dolphin family sperm whales even though there called whales are actually the largest of the dolphin family.
@@davidfontes7132 orcas are. not true abt sperm whales. Sperm whales are whales, one of the few remaining toothed whales, in family Physeteroidea
These guys are doing the lords work. Bless you.
no shit... The Lord sure as Hell won't... never has, never will..
The Lord work is not with animals. The Bible plainly tells us what God expects from His people and that relates totally to humans. Loving one another, giving the Word unto salvation, and the number one thing Christ told us is to love Him and obey His commandments. It is a compassionate heart that goes out to help a animal in trouble but blessings come from doing for fellow man.
Yeah, anything good the lord get credit. The real credit is the diver.
@john cash so U guys can see the results of sin and selfishness
@john cash that sentence isn't decipherable
Спасибо огромное за спасение кашалота. 💖🙏🙏🙏 Бедолага ведь мог и захлебнутся или с голоду помереть 😢😢😢
Simply an awesome display of the kindness of good people. Thanks for posting!
How in the world did it get wrapped around it's lower jaw like that? So glad the diver was able to help this amazing creature 💕
yeah….very suspicious
They try to catch prey and the Rope is getting in the way. Some Fishing net is also swimming in the ocean as "Geisternetze" (sry i am German so.. xD) They wrap around the poor seamamal, not being able to breath anymore a whale or dolphin can actually drown.
@@sakuranakamura1814thank you for the information that you have provided. Many blessings to you my friend ❤
@@lenawright1857 No problem :)
he wasnt able to help it, you can see the whale sinking at the end with the rope still attached to it's jaw. it';s kinda pathetic that they lie to us like that in the video title/description.@@lenawright1857
I’m devastated how we are trashing our oceans and how it’s effecting our marine life.thank God for good people who saved this magnificent whale.
Mut und ❤️ muss man haben um solchen Giganten zu Helfen , aber das macht sich zum Schluss bezahlt ❤️ finde ich , nochmals DANKE !!! 🐳
They didn't save anything. Have a look at which oceans are full of plastic. Do you think that five tsunamis might possibly have been to blame? Whole towns and all of their waste washed into the Pacific and Indian Ocean. But naturally it's all due to dumping
Thank you for risking your lives to help this magnificent creature live a long pain free life. At that moment in time... You were the best of what we are sir.
Nice to see that there's still simple kindness and humanity in the world. Thanks for posting.
Wow. Thank you for what you did, as a diver I realize how important it is to help when you can pick trash when u see it and just leave bubbles, it was mentioned that you had been following this animal, did you ever see her after this rescue that you did?
They didn’t save the whale Rope was still tightly wrapped and had broken his jaw. Don’t be gullible and believe these liars
Good to see there's still good people out there doing good things..
You see cops don't you? They do hero stuff everyday
@@travishanks7295 wasn't referring to our great everyday heros of our everyday lives.
Yeah thankfully the rope magically untangled itself...
Not good enough while our ignorance and greed is destroying the oceans.
@@legacymatters3814 true but atleast something was done to help...
Bravo! Thank you for saving this majestic creature.
they didnt save it. watch till the end, it starts sinking with the rope still attached.
Props to the guy who was actually trying to help the whale. Face palm to the diving partner who just decided to film for internet recognition instead of lending a hand and making the process twice as fast.
He could be filming for just internet points, or it could be that he didn't have scissors to help. Also, with the water jostling them around, it's not a guarantee that they wouldn't stab each other. Two people don't always make a job go twice as fast.
Remarkably brave and compassionate. True heroes.
their is no way that whale survived, you can see at the end when it is diving down, and starts to go a little ways away from the main rope, and you can literally see that its still extremely tight around the jaw when the whale pulls away, which just makes the jaw stretch to lengths it shouldn't be, you can see how bad it is right at the end the jaw was almost at an 90° angle, it would essentially be impossible for that rope to magically get off on its own, shame on the people who lied and upload this anyway trying to make it seem like they did good.
They didn’t do anything! Look at the pathetic scissors they were pretending to use Open your eyes
🤦♀️How did that happen to that poor whale!?. Thank you Hugues for your compassion and bravery. 🐳🏊♂️💛
maybe another ´ rescue ´ video ….suspicious
@@berlinerjung5304 nah seems like it really got stuck and how do they even fake this sort of stuff that whales heavy
Appreciation, Gratitude, Respect, Honor, Prosperity & Infinite Blessings 🎉❤
Awful.. Imagine how often this happens and they don't get saved. Thank you Hughes!!!
So happy that you found that whale. Great job guys, thanks
Очень и очень тронут вашим поступком и работой по спасению если не ошибаюсь кашалота, больших вам успехов в ваших не лёгких трудах, думаю ваш труд очень ценен, и оценён и вам всё вернётся и больше чем. Успехов вам всего найлутшего.
These are gentle creatures...glad it's getting help
YOU ARE A LITERAL HERO BROTHER. YOUR OVERWHELMING, YOUR PARENTS MUST BE PROUD AS ALL HELL WITH YOU ! I TIP MY HAT TO YOU SIR, YOUR ONE OF A KIND MAN. AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME I HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU FIRST STARTED DOING THIS , AND WOULD HAVE LOVED BEING IN YOUR BRAIN DURING YOUR INITIAL PONDERINGS WHEN DECIDEDING TO YOURSELF THAT SWIMMING WITH WHALES AND CUTTING OF NETS IS SOMETHING YOUR PROPELLED TO DO. BRAVO BRO YOUR A HERO 100% AND THANKS FOR BEING SO.
Без комментариев просто молодцы!респект и уважение таким людям
Да, но в ролике кита они освободить не смогли
Good man for helping this creature, so tense looking at it being saved, happy days. ❤️
Awesome job !!!! Doing something positive for this animal without expectation of anything in return. Selfless heroes do that and a hero you are. Thank you for your kindness.
It's nice to see someone helping the whales. May God bless us all, Amen 😇
Now that is a person making a difference! 👏
Not all heros wear cloaks! God bless those guys. That was just heartbreaking to see the whale like trussed up and slowly dying. We have to do better.
over 400 scriptures in the Bible about God blessing man and the land. None say anything about God blessing people for helping or saving animals. It's not Biblical.
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv no one said it was biblical.
Do NOT appeal to imaginary "gods", as the only effective methods involve regulation that the fishing profiteers defy. Moorings are also a problem.
I held my breath during most of the video. That whale must have been under so much suffering! Thank you so much!
Thanks for taking care of animals.
Hard job, I started breathing along and could feel the tension building up. I believe straight after you had to surface with an almost empty cylinder. Good job, people like you help make earth a better place for all animals.
May God bless the courageous divers and all authorities who participated in this rescue operation!
Sadly Michael it’s only getting worse. I believe all the companies selling plastics and the companies using plastics to sell their products in should be mainly responsible for worldwide clean up. Add a deposit on all plastic containers that people can get back like they used to do with soda bottles and watch the plastic problem disappear. So far all most people do is complain. Sad.
@@lindajackson618 real recycling is a solution too. We recycle every single piece of plastic, metal and cardboard that comes into our house and if the recycle bin gets full plastic takes priority. But I’ve read that even though plastic bottles are turned in for recycling few recyclers have the capability of recycling them, so they end up in a landfill anyway. I have no idea what happens to the ones we turn in. Also, many places don’t offer recycling. We live outside city limits in a rural area, but the garbage people we contract with do recycling. But the nearby town we did live in and that my mother and my daughter live in used to do recycling with their trash pick up, but discontinued it a couple of years ago. So that’s 50,000 people who can no longer recycle anything at all. That’s a lot of bottles going to the landfill. But again, the bigger problem is the issue of recyclers not being able to recycle bottles. Every single recycler needs to have that capability. Perhaps as the government is pushing and subsidizing the development of other green initiatives, they should subsidize getting that capability up and running.

Thanks a lot guys for looking after God’s Creatures!!
Thank goodness the ropes finally came free! Poor whale. I hope the whale is happy now, living free with his family. 💗
Hallelujah!!! The whale's Champions, our Heroes. Compassion and constructive effort on behalf of one vulnerable. No better, more effective way to heal that ailing us the world over. Thanks and Blessings, always!
Thank goodness for the good deeds of those divers. It's terrible how people can leave all those ropes and junk out there without realising the trouble it causes.
Building respect between species, absolutely wonderful.
Thank you humanity at its best ❤️🌍🏴
That is amazing! You’re a hero!
It's not, "just" ducks snared in six-pack plastic. These guys risked their lives for this magnificent beast, to save it from the potentially LETHAL carelessness of others. Bravo, boys! 👏👏👏💕
They didn't "risk their lives. Read again.
I was talking back to the video the whole time telling the diver to cut at the mouth, cuz if he just cut the ropes to the ocean floor ..well his whale might feel like it was free but would still be in peril.. and thank God he was intelligent enough to do that.. I do hope it's true that the rest of the stuff came off and the whale was freed
Hello 👋how are you doing?
That whale’s jaw is insanely broken. It must have fought so hard to break loose. Really sad to see.
That’s not even a real whale species let alone real live animal they’re “saving”. These are liars.
That's actually how their jaws always look. Not sure how you can tell, but if it's from looking, that's how far their little jaws go.
@@StudioMod so why did he never close it after rope came off ?
@@StudioMod it was dangling
@@meking3258 He probably didn't realize.
It's amazing to see that ocean creatures starts showing off that they are aware of people help in the past, and looking for help without any particular difficulty. If someone was wondering, yes they communicate as they are souls in different bodies
Heroes like that should be publicly acknowledged and awarded as an example to humanity who the real *** GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE *** really are!
GOD BLESS THOSE DIVERS FOR HELPING THE WHALE!❤

Thank goodness you guys came along !! I cried for this creature because of the pain he or she must’ve felt ! I wish this kind of thing didn’t happen ! Yeah you guys thank you !! Live long and prosper !!!!!
Thank God for bringing into this Earth, kind & caring people like you dear divers. God keep you safe always.
Thank you so much lovely people for what you did 🤗
Wow! It was so good of you guys to help that whale out!
Is it me, or does the whale's jaw look broken, or overly extended open? It might be hurt, and wont be able to eat or defend itself. Thank you for helping that whale.
Yes the jaw appears broken. And probably died soon after being unable to eat...
anything else expert
@@thecdc1738 Nope, you can go back to the shelter and get your methadone now.
Poor thing. Thankyou for caring and saving this magnificent animal.
Give this guy a medal!!! 👍
Its people like this that earn my love and respect.
Unfortunately their is no way that whale survived, you can see at the end when it is diving down, and starts to go a little ways away from the main rope, and you can literally see that its still extremely tight around the jaw when the whale pulls away, which just makes the jaw stretch to lengths it shouldn't be, you can see how bad it is right at the end the jaw was almost at an 90° angle, it would essentially be impossible for that rope to magically get off on its own, shame on the people who lied and upload this anyway trying to make it seem like they did good.
Very kind. It's amazing how small we humans are compared to some other mammals.
they are VERY careful when swimming close to us though. For example often Dr Ingrid Visser swims with Orca's off her native New Zealand and they are VERY careful around her because for one thing she's free diving not SCUBA. They all know her though! Yeah whole pod shows up. Amazing.
Yes because we don't need to be oversized as shit to survive, and destroy anything we need to
Thank you for saving this magnificent creature and being awesome human beings! 💙
Every time I see an amazing save like this I wonder how many times something like this has happened and there was nobody around to intervene. We have got to stop trashing this planet.
It's amazing when you go to help a whale Tangled in bets or ropes they understand that you're trying to help and they go really quiet calm and allow you to help them
Absolute heroes in this video. Keep up the noble work.
My jaw hurts when I saw this good man for helping
Give this man a " HONOR" medal
I love seeing rescues like this. My heart hurts seeing any animal suffering because of humans.

Thankyou for reminding me there are still some decent real human beings around willing to put themselves at risk to save something so precious ❤️
Felicitación a los buzos. Un trabajo genial. Estos si que son verdaderos héroes.
Thank you for helping that beautiful, majestic whale wish I could have seen the whole video where he was totally free I must imagine there's a part two somewhere.
It’s amazing how the whale patiently hovered there while the diver helped free him from the ropes
Bless his heart many times over!!!

Watching this footage had me on the edge of my seat. Bravo to these divers who were involved in a very tricky untangling. We are responsible for the creatures in our oceans that have been polluted by plastics, over fishing, blastings etc. We CAN NOT sit in silence and ignore this travesty, no matter how painful it is to watch!
So, what have you done the last 7 months to help ocean animals as you pointed out we cannot sit in silence and ignore this travesty?
