whale

Scientists tracked a young #whale's journey before he vanished. What they learned could help save his species.

#Bishop’s story, from birth to presumed death, shows the extreme danger facing right #whales, which could be extinct in 3 decades if they continue to disappear at the present rate. Bishop’s species is not doomed to #extinction …but time is running out.

A sperm #whale swam straight towards a diver, its mouth wide open and filled with various debris. As the diver carefully neared, the whale kept its mouth open, allowing her to remove the tangled mess bit by bit.

Afterward, the whale lingered in the area, staying near the surface with the divers as if expressing gratitude. Before diving back into the depths, it gave the divers an unforgettable photoshoot and a memory that will last a lifetime. #whales #amazingnature #nature
