A video captured a heartwarming rescue after a pair of fishermen happened upon a juvenile dolphin tied up in fishing line.
Jose Ramón Pérez and Miguel Rodríguez were boating 10km off the coast of Almería, Spain when they found the animal tangled up, with its mother desperately trying to keep it afloat.
The baby’s tail was tangled in a rope that was pulling it underwater but the two men said its mother would not leave its side and kept trying to lift it up so it could breathe.
José Ramon, a warehouse worker, and Miguel, a greenhouse owner, wanted to help so they called local authorities, who put them through to Equinac, a local conservation charity.
“I saw something floating but it wasn’t actually floating at the surface. It was underneath,” said Ramón. “Miguel said it was a dolphin but I thought it was strange because it hadn’t moved at all.”
“The mother was trying to call us. When we got there she didn’t leave (the dolphin’s) side for a second.”
“She was holding its head up the whole time and the rope was even chewed.”
