    Default Ocean Rescue: Manta Responds To Divers Kindness

    This beautiful video comes to us from the Philippines. When several divers were out in the ocean, they were approached by a large Manta Ray with a fishing line slicing through her right wing. The master diver attempted several times to cut her free from the barnacle encrusted fishing line, but she always flinched. Several attempts later it looked like she realized the diver was trying to help and she calmed down, allowing him to set her completely free of the line.

    The best part is that the Manta kept circling the divers afterwards, almost as if to say thanks.

    What a lovely story--- and a happy ending! What a sublime creature, and I think we would all have liked to stay longer.

    She certainly seemed to understand that the humans were trying to help and that alone is amazing. Maybe we should try more inter-species understanding--- we certainly aren't achieving much regarding intra-species co-operation at the moment.

    Poor thing! I appreciate what the divers did, and I hope she makes it with that terrible wound.
