My friend this morning told me about the whale that went up to a boat, and effectively asked for help to get some things off of it. I hadn't heard or seen the story, but upon googling: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ng-plastic-bag-caught-mouth-north-Sydney.html
So sad, but adorable; flapping its fin as perhaps a sign of thanks.
A group of young fishermen have captured an incredible selfie with a whale after it swam up and seemed to ask them for help removing plastic bags caught in its mouth.
The friendly whale nudged their boat as it made a surprise appearance in Middle Harbour, north of Sydney.
The men soon noticed the whale, which circled the boat and swam underneath it, was asking for help and pulled out rubbish bags and fishing lines stuck in its mouth.
As the whale made its way over to the other boat, Mr Kovac captured the event on his camera.
'He has a big scar on his back. He had some fishing line and two plastic bags on his head. I managed to grab at it but missed.
'He later came up to a trailer boat and presented his head as they removed the bag,' Mr Kovac wrote.
After the rubbish is removed from the whale's mouth, the creature is seen swimming away while flapping its fin - apparently showing its appreciation.
