In a gripping underwater rescue, Spanish divers have freed a 12-meter-long humpback whale entangled in an illegal drift net off the Balearic island of Mallorca.
One of the divers, 32-year-old marine biologist Gigi Torras, said the May 20 rescue and a little gesture of appreciation from the giant mammal were also a birthday present for her — the “best ever,” in her words.
