Atlanta Acquarium

Subject: Gratitude

If you had read the front page  story of the SF Chronicle on Thursday, Dec 14, 2005, you would have read about a  female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and  lines. She was weighted down by  hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to  struggle to stay afloat. She also  had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her  torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

A  fisherman spotted her just east of the Farralone Islands (outside the Golden  Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save  her was to dive in and untangle her--a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the  tail could kill a rescuer. They worked for hours with curved knives  and  eventually freed her.

When she was free, the divers say she swam in what  seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a  time, and nudged  them, pushed them gently around--she thanked them. Some said it was the most  incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the  rope out of  her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will  never ever  be the same.
