Humpback Whale Gives 'Thank You' Performance to Rescuers

THE JOY OF LIVING; what we need to learn from them - via abcnews:

His team worked from their boat to cut the whale loose from the netting with a small knife. Fishbach was able to get the whale's dorsal fin free. With the whale partially freed, it started swimming with the boat for about a half hour.
"She kind of knew we were her chance, we were her lifeline," Fishbach said. After an hour, the whale was finally free. Fishbach said the moment that the whale was released from the netting, that's when the show began.


Captured on video, the whale leaped at least 40 different times in and out of the water for the next hour. "It was a magnificent life form on this planet which was really on the brink of death was free and was just showing its joy of being alive," Fishbach said.
