Diver Cesar Espino is one heroic human. Just ask the 45-foot Bryde whale whose life he saved off the Canary Islands in Spain. Well, you can't really ask the whale, but you can watch the video:
The whale had become so badly entangled in fishing line that it couldn't free itself. Trapped by the heavy lines for what appeared to be many days, the whale had become emaciated and was clearly distressed. That's when Mr. Espino stepped (swam) in, spending over an hour cutting the ropes from the whales mouth and fin. He stopped only to breathe.
Free at last, the whale began to swim away, as Cesar followed to make sure the enormous creature would be okay. Cesar's friend posted the video of the whale's ordeal and his friends heroics. Since then, it's been viewed over a million times. Our hats are off to Mr. Espino and our hearts go out to the Bryde whale, hoping it won't need a similar rescue any time soon!
