This sea giant grabbed the diver's hand and asked for help (6 photos + 1 video)
An encounter with a whale shark, which is the largest fish in the world, cannot fail to impress in itself. And the group of divers will clearly remember this meeting for the rest of their lives.
When the whale shark approached one of the divers, he expected the sea giant to simply swim past, as it usually did. But instead, the beautiful creature gently pulled his hand.
At first, the diver was confused, and his team, in turn, began to worry about the safety of their colleague. However, the shark released the diver’s hand as quickly as it grabbed it.
As the shark slowly swam past him, the diver noticed that the animal had thick fishing rope wrapped around it, which was digging into its fins. Without wasting a second, the diver took out his penknife and began cutting the rope.
The shark's rescue took less than a minute, but judging by the condition of the animal's skin and the rope itself, it had been there for quite a long time - perhaps even years, which brought incredible pain and inconvenience to the poor creature.
Despite the fact that the terrifying appearance and gigantic size of this animal can inspire fear, the whale shark does not attack people - unless, of course, it has to protect its offspring. So this giant will be an excellent companion for divers!
Just listen to the sound of the charming giant thanking his savior, who finally freed him from the hated shackles!
How lucky it was that the shark and the diver met each other that day!
