Sperm Whale Rescue 

How incredible!! Thank you gentleman what a Awesome job!!

And you know that because you are a marine biologist?

.. latest research suggests that they communicate in a language that has an alphabet. 😮 ..and elephants have their own 'names'!

Weird, you would think that anther hundreds of years of hunting them near extintion they would be more weary of humans.

it is interesting that they have a language and very large brains.. maybe they talk about how things were in the past.. maybe they talk about us.. 🤔

That was fantastic. Such beautiful creatures.

...or women?

Usually whale rescuers are men. Most women do not have the physical strength required for the work and are not hard wired to take the risks necessary for the work. It really is men's work. That's just how it is. I hope I marry a man who does this sort of work personally. Sincerely, a realistic and rational woman.

🙏🙏🙏. Humans have debt to pay to the Big whales and Sperm whales for having hunted them just for their oils. 😢😢😢

Aye, agreed! We need to increase by 500% the number of sea patrols in our beloved Mediterranean Sea!

👏👏👏👍😁🐳🐳🐳!

Yes indeed

Pp

The members of the Italian Coast Guard are really underappreciated even here in Italy: they help people in danger, protect the enviroment from polluters and illegal fishing, fight smugglers and drug traders...but since they also help adrift refugees and migrants a lot of people insult and criticizes them.

@Skipping Stones I think you've demonstrated YOU'RE the problem. Bye.

@Skipping Stones really, do you know him? Do you know how @Robert Ashley is? Talk is free, and stupity too.

Agree. So weird

It states right in the video that in took an entire day to free the first 2 animals.. Were you hoping to watch 8 hours worth of scuba divers cutting off fishing nets?

​@@codymoe4986 They could have skipped to the moment they free them, we don't need several hours of cutting through net. 🙄

I fish and walk the beach several times a week (space coast of Florida)The amount of plastics on our beaches is sad. You can pick up trash and the next day there’s more.

omg it's so true

Spectacular rescue of a magnificent creature

Well done 👍

Great observation! I never would have thought that was even possible.

Они ехали на спасательную операцию с маникюрными ножницами . Вообще ни ума ни фантазии . Спасатели .

Точно....

oldladywhocares not to mention these guys eat great whites like sardines

Do they eat people tho.

Sperm whales do not eat great whites or people. They eat giant squid, octopus and such. They also know when someone has good or ill intentions toward them. Hence the stories of them attacking whalers yet being completely placid and cooperative when being rescued like this. Sperm whales are my other mates as well as humpbacks. And I really admire the men who do this work. These are real men... kind and masculine at the same time.

scanjet1000 Of course not. Im fact there are no record of sperm whales willingly attacking humans, but the risk is not to get hit by their tail flip while they are struggling and trying to free themselves in panic. Luckily they seem to notice they are helped and stop moving too much But it's still risky, one accidential whip from a whales tail could crush a diver instantly. But on many occasions, whales were even cautious and stopped or turned to not run into divers in many encounters. It's amazing these huge animals even "care" enough and willingly tried to avoid to risk harming us tiny strangly swimming beings. They are much bigger so they simply could expect us to move for sure ! There were also cases when whales took humans or other small animals under their pectotal fin to hide and protect them when big sharks were around. Some say it's because they thought the humans being some sort of calfs, but i think they are too intelligent to mistake us for their offspring. We don't look like a calf, we smell and behave different and we don't make any similar noises. But they somehow decided we are worth to be protected anyways....Isn't it amazing?

One of them ate Jonah tho. It's documented in the Bible so its true.

SOULJAHZ, JAHBLESS

May God multiply your blessings as you do his work.

agreed hun bless em

The whole world should thank you.

@skipping stones shut the fuck up pussy

Skipping Stones Do you really think such a hate filled comment was called for or deserved? Could be you could use some counseling by a professional.

Skipping Stones I feel so sorry for your incompetence and stupidity, I’ll pray for you and the idiots like you

Largest brain of any creature.

Tom Pike thats not true... they have rather small brains for their size

Luca Guida It is TRUE! "The largest mammalian brain belongs to the sperm whale, one of the biggest cetaceans in the sea. The sperm whale's head comprises 25 to 35 percent of its entire body length. The mature adult sperm whale's brain weighs an average of 18 pounds, and can grow to be nearly 500 cubic inches in size."

tu penses que ton cerveau ne pourrais pas diriger une baleine ? Ce n'est pas une question de proportion de taille .

@@reformed5786 ah didnt know that...

😰👍

Yeah, very dangerous rescue. Sperm whales can stun and even kill you with their sonar. Just them wanting to get a good look at you could be fatal... the sound is so powerful, it can vibrate you to death. A researcher once tried to push off with one hand against one that got too close, and it stunned his arm so badly that he couldn't move it for 5 hours.

Yes, that shows how intelligent whales are.

+MaruAdventurer They were probably worn out and half starved. No telling how long they'd been entangled.

nevertheless they could have killed the divers with one stroke of their flukes!

+ChrisCrashNow of course they did. Whaleys always know your intentions.

Two were freed the first day but the Pod remained together... Beautiful, just beautiful

It's amazing they reminded so calm, as if they knew they were helped ! On some occasions whales even stopped and turned to not bump into divers watching them. It's incredible these giants even care and are so cautious not to hurt these strange slender black "fish" who seem so interested in them...

Almost as if?? Dude their brains are more than three time as big as ours with all of the centres for communication, memory and empathy plus a way bigger area for processing sounds. They’re not ‘fish’. Having said that, these divers are awesome!

Crystal M . I believe Jane Doe X was using the metaphor of the “slender black fish” for the divers, not the whales 🐋

It was no small task to cut through all that netting, and on their tails too! Yet these awesome creatures just trusted them to help. Great that there are still people who do care and who can help them, despite all the risk👍

Remember George and Gracie the Humpbacks.. they KNEW!

Ребята какие вы умнички!!! Здоров ья вам, сил, мира, процветания, пусть увидет весь мир, и узнает таких смелых парней, а остальные пусть задумаются, что пворят, что выбрасывают в океан, моря может совесть у них проснётся, нашим спасателям ура🙌🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

@Skipping Stones I guess you don't experience life much, little boy.

Especially with scissors, yikes!

that was definately a big whale smile at the end!!

It waved back too

100% agree.

Fremen Warrior instead of prison time. how about they lose their ships and any rights to ever work on a boat, or merchant vessels.

Edward Batting How about the law demanding that all fishing gear be made of biodegradable materials as these nylon nets and lines last virtually forever and keep maiming and killing marine creatures.

Lucille de Lorme That is an excellent idea Lucille.

Btw Putin is the only leader in the world that is actually trying to prevent ruthless business men from destroying our world for greed

Большой вопрос кто из нас животное , мы или они ...

@@BenaresDarkness Of course they are animals. So are you and I and dogs, cats, birds, and fish. Whales are not fish. Like you and I, they are mammals.

your invisible, imaginairy old man in the clouds, gave the wales the nets to die.... you know???

@@BenaresDarkness I do. Mammals are animals. Look it up. Apparently you do not understand that basic fact.

@@robertheinrichvonseyfenste267 ok boomer

@@BenaresDarkness lol yes they are still animals you clearly don't know what animal means

the music itself is a tragedy, voted down

Disagree shocking could,nt watch because of it......

Thanks

Me too.

I totally agree. The music doesn't suit the scenario at all. Actually annoying for this sort of thing.

Blind Squid Never thought I’d see the day; a squid on the side of sperm whales

@@7316bobe what is your problem? The guy was just joking about the other persons name being squid

Одни слова благодарности! Ребята молодцы💕
