Fishermen free tangled whale off the coast of Peru
Published in Weird News
LIMA (UPI) -- A group of Peruvian fisherman were recorded on camera using their knives to free a whale tangled in a fishing net attached to buoy.
Nicolas Navarro Pazos said in a Facebook post he was out fishing in a small boat with Christhian Josue Navarro Fiestas, Cristian Vite De Alvarez, Alex Alfonso Puescas Ruiz and two other men July 21 when they encountered a whale tangled in the netting attached to a Styrofoam buoy.
The video shows the fishermen moving alongside -- and sometimes over the top of -- the whale and using their knives to cut through the net.
Pazos said the rescue was successful and the whale was able to swim away.
