Whale sharks are some of the largest marine animals in the world. Despite their size, usually measuring over 40 feet long, however, they’re actually quite gentle and only feed on plankton. So what could one lone man do to save such a large animal’s life?
While filming for a series called “Secrets of Shark Island”, they stumbled across a large whale shark that had a fishing line wrapped around it like a noose. Instead of leaving it to its fate, the diver swims right up to the gigantic creature and cuts the fishing line from his body. Even more extraordinary is that the whale shark seems to sense his intentions and sits perfectly still as the man goes to work.

From the growth on the rope, it has probably been there for years, and now the shark can swim free of its constraints. Share away, people!
