@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social ALT-TEXT A photo of a sperm whale in the blue ocean with a scuba diver removing trash from the whale's opened mouth. Caption: "A DIVER FOUND A SPERM WHALE WITH ITS MOUTH AND THROAT CHOKED BY TRASH. SHE PUT HER HANDS INSIDE ITS JAWS AND PULLED THE DEBRIS OUT PIECE BY PIECE. THE WHALE STAYED CALM AND LET HER. ONE ANIMAL. ONE ACT OF MERCY. A RESCUE IN THE DEEP. AND A SPECIES ASKING US TO FIX WHAT WE BROKE." signed WILD WONDERS

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social this is odd. Sperms whales are predators, and their snacks are in the really deep. That's when they bite. So this suggests junk that deep, which seems unlikely. I ain't saying that it did not happen. I am saying it's odd.
