Manta Rescue!

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Such an amazing experience/rescue! Diving in the Philippines April 2014 with Manta Rays. One approached us with fishing line slicing right through her wing. Our guide spent several attempts to cut her free and finally removed the barnacle encrusted fishing line. She swam with us for over 10minutes until we were low on air & had to leave. We watched while on our safety stop as she continued to circle below us with another Manta ray. I am convinced she stayed with us for help as this was the longest & closest interaction during the week of diving. Kudos to our guide 'GL'! A truly amazing & emotional experience.
I am a marine biologist studying the mantas in Ticao. Wanted to tell you the same manta (now nicknamed Jane, if that's ok by you) came back today (25 october 2014), sstayed for a few hours, and looked healthy and happy :)
Best wishes,
Yotam
Hi Yotam, I am thrilled that you have seen her again & she appears to be in good health! I am stoked that you have nicknamed her Jane :) I guess GL will be OK with that as she is a female. I am also pleased that the video has assisted in drawing attention to you studies on Mantas in the area. Good luck with that. Hopefully we will return one day soon!
What the divers did was awesome. I was going to ask if they seen her again and you answered my question.
Do you have a web page? Thanks! Pacific Manta Research Group
That is so good to know. I wasn’t sure she would make it with that long slit. Thanks for saving her life. Pat
yotambarr great to hear. I’m a skipper, do you guys ever need someone to drive boats for you? Are you still studying the Manta Rays?
Mantas are so shy which makes this interaction particularly remarkable. God bless those people who have the patience to do this work.
@nordhorny leave
nordhorny sorry whats that i don't speak asshole
nordhorny I love this comment! 👍😂😂😂😂
@nordhorny its too weak to hate religion when you can hate God, but i dare your ass can't do that, cause it so weak as i said.
@@vulture6268 Uh oh look out this vulture is angry!! Nordhorny said he hates religion he didn't say he hates g-ds. He and I don't waste that kind of emotion on something that doesn't exist.
One of the most majestic creatures I have ever seen. Absolutely stunningly beautiful, and she knew exactly what the guys were doing - every move was conscious, knowing they were helping. Beautifully filmed, captured her suffering yes, but the outcome was fantastic and I love the music accompanying this footage! Watched this about 10x already!
Me too! (watch this many times.)
Wow...what an amazing encounter. You could really see her letting you cut that line off...esp the last bit. So glad that you managed to do that. I hope she recovers. The wound looked awful. Such magical creatures
Tears in my eyes... What an amazing encounter, so glad they could help her! Amazing!
So sad that this beautiful gentle creature has been scarred and damaged by man's pollution of their habitat. Lovely to see some caring people helping her.
Lovely music too
Music No, just the sounds of bubbles breathing thanks! An older ex scuba diver!
@@paddy696 Pipe down Peter; a fart in the bath will deliver your heart's desire
Man does a lot worse to other humans...and sometimes only over ideological differences
possibly we are the "mistake"
Thank you for sharing this 😢 l am in tears but at the same time joyous to be able to see this act of kindness 😊 she is so BEAUTIFUL! Scarred but still beautiful x x
Just really pleased you could help, I dont dive anymore but honoured to have once been part of a caring fraternity..
I know that they are quite large, but I had no idea exactly how massive they are until I saw this. I am beyond amazed! Legendary video!
What a beautiful creature!!!! Thank you so very much for helping her!!!!
Very, very cool, guys. Thanks for helping this big guy. Awesome creature.
Thank you and may God bless you💖
That's a beautiful animal and wow what a terrible cut that line made, great job.
Brilliant, my brother Jack Heppel was on this dive and he just told me about this. Great stuff.
thank you so much for helping her!
Bless you for your kindness.
WOW!!! AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!!!
Fishing lines are a "curse" to the marine life -
thank you, beautiful people, for the "beautiful" rescue.
How beautiful!..thank you guys you are great!! Keep diving and helping them
Beautiful she is like a butterfly of the ocean.
This damned fishing lines, today also like 4 years ago!!! What a beautiful Manta...
You people are wonderful......Zapping yous some special vibes.
This was so fantastic. But there are far too many creatures in the oceans that aren't as lucky as this beauty. They will die a slow death because humans are so careless...but this one is lucky. Great job...
You people are the best!!! Love!!!
Well done!!!
God bless those people and their families!!!
I'm so glad she's free! Poor thing!
Maybe there will be a sequel? The injury left such a distinct scar, it would be fascinating & heartwarming if there were records of future sightings of her!
Thanks, they are wonderful.
To have ignored her would be like ignoring a dog in distress when you're out for a walk in the countryside.
I guess Jane will be identifiable all her life, sadly. But so happy that you guys managed to help her. I know that most larger fish and of course whales, will sometimes seek out cleaner fish when they have an issue. That's why the assistance is accepted.
Amazing job well done gives you abit of faith in humanity
Good for you guys. Bravo....!
Beautiful Manta Ray!
Great Work Guys, Yous Are Alsome And May God Bless You All Your Lives.
They were right she’s beautiful and majestic good job!
Cuanta belleza!!! Impresionante!
God made Jane be still so they could help her.😍
Such a lifetime experience... they are magnificent.
Wow what an experience...blessed
Good job, guys!
Increíble lo que hicieron. Felicitaciones. 👌👌👌
That was Truly Heroic!
This is wonderful.
These creatures are so much more evolved than humans. They know Love and Relationship and we are
busy eating sushie and looking at our phones not talking to the person next to us. We are Souless.
Mantas are just large water breathing graceful birds
ANGELS OF THE SEA!
This cheered me right up! More people like this are needed in the world, one one side you have people shooting down airlines killing hundreds of people and destroying many others and then there is this!
Thanxs thanxs she knows
awesome job guys!
This is horrible. She will stay with this deep wound forever now. But at least, theses thinks has been remouved. That a relief.
These animals have 'cleaning stations' areas where fish will congregate to feed of injuries and parasites of the 'guests'. The feeding cleans the wounds and removes the parasites. This means the larger 'guests' know that they can be helped. Maybe they have started to lesrn that we can be cleaners as well. The DM was extremely brave to get on the manta's back. The action of stinging is totally a reflex (like a sneeze), she could have easily hurt or killed him. I'm glad to here that she has been sighted as seems healthy and has now been named 'Jane'.
They don't have stingers....
+Fishstick132 barbs then
+Ruthann Jones or barbs
Your thinking of stingrays. Mantas have no defensive mechanism at all. Their tail is simply used to "steer". Yeah nobody should attempt this with a stingray they will barb you reflexively if scared or startled.
Nice one guys,
WOW! Are mantas a lot more intelligent that we think they are? I am puzzled by her behavior, I really am.
Amen. You guys are awesome. This is what God intended. Man and nature living in harmony--nobody eating nobody. Bible says nature groans in travail awaiting it's own redemption. Can't wait to see it.
Dear Divers, that wasn't just a goodbye across Fred's back.. It was a moment of Love and Appreciation to all of you from the beauty of Her ;)
wow, good job! Thank god you got it off
She is beautiful
Amazing creatures
Very nice job
We are a horrible species that creates these situations, thanks to you that can pay back a little X
The music was fantastic! What is it?
Smartest fish in the sea.
sir, you help God's creation, so you deserve to get guidance of God to the truth. i pray for you. thanks
I wonder how old this manta must be ?
Mantas often visit certain reefs to be cleaned by other fish.
Amazing
👍
What's the music in the video?
Wow Amazing>
Isn't it wonderful to live in a world where such magnificent sea creatures exist?
Shame about the humans.
no
It proves that humans are supposed to be the care takers of this planet, not its leech of destruction.
I did this with a big turtle in Hawaii -- had lots of line on him
God bless u for helping!!! Ty!
You're AWESOME!!!
thanks
You're amazing
Thank you for helping that turtle ! We have friends who snorkel & dive & carry small knifes for other reasons but so they can cut lines. Sad that humans have made that a necessity...
Oh my goodness I'm in tears. She knew she was being helped and she was so brave to fight through her pain and finally hold still so the line could be cut away. And she stayed with them for ten minutes, then caressed the diver before she left!! If that doesn't show the intelligence of mantas I don't know what does.
What an awesome experience for the divers!!
mantas have huge brains.
I also have tears in my eyes what does mankind to the animals 😭
@Hugh Jaanus Did you see her flinch several times as the diver was removing the line? I'm no marine biologist but it looked like she was feeling something like pain.
@Hugh Jaanus even if they cant feel pain they can obviously detect the fact that half their body is being strained and that obviously manifests itself into stress or some equivalent, which is comparable to pain
Me too!!! So sad but I am happy they were able to help. 💞💞💞
Many others have said it, but I think want was done for this beautiful creature of the depths was wonderful. Imagine how helpless she must have felt with the fishing line cutting away at her flesh. Thank you and your friends. More humans need to do acts of kindness.
Amen brada! Its funny....listening to the replies about this video is great. People actually getting along and being nice to one another. Its really a nice switch u no?? Unfortunately with all the devision in our great country these days its beautiful to see people come together and act civil to 1 another. I dont understand why we can allow each other 2 b different or think different yet respect each others views and love each other any way! Just something else to think about. Have a good weekend everybody. And a great independence day 2019!!! - call ur mom and dad and tell them how much u love them! God bless!
@@danielthames9628 I always imagine intelligent aliens exploring humans. They must think: How are they able to be so intelligent and mighty and so stupid and destroying at the same time? They know that what they do is destroying their own habitat and planet, but they rather protect a game called "money" than change their lifestyle... What the hell!??
I think as rare as warmhearted people are as more important it is to be warmhearted and being the difference. I found hope in the korean boygroup BTS and their fandom. These guys are so warmhearted and humble! And their fandom is ready to help everyone, who shares the same values of philantropy. And they help animals as well. Their fans planted 1250 trees as birthday present for the group leader RM. They plan to plant more trees for every birthday.
Great job guys!
Humans should live in harmony with wildlife! :)
"Should", but they don't do, we don't do...
Poner su vida en peligro🥺🥺🥺🥺
So sad to see the slice in that magnificent creature's body.
I applaud the humans who help those in need of rescue . This old girl was probably in a lot of pain from the gash & didn't expect to be touched So her flinching the and hesitation and were both understandable.
I am absolutely grateful that they didn't give up finally got the line and barnacles off of her !!!
I believe that animals have a sixth sense about being willing to accept help.....Many years ago, my neighbors dog got all but skinned alive by a mail truck one summer bc she wasn't leashed or fenced.
The owner Could not deal with it & didn't have a vet so l wrapped her up in a soft blanket and took her to my vet.
She was given IV antibiotics and pain medication. Her owner did not want to deal with it and wanted to put her down & my vet said that was the owners right but with some nursing back to health she would be okay. Said that barring an infection there is nothing that time and daily care could not fix. Owner opted out & said "I'll just get another dog" 😶
So 4 days later I took her home & because I volunteered to take care of her the awesome vet did not charge us for her care. They gave us pads for her to rest on ( by bedtime every day, she'd end up bloody till her skin healed) gauze, saline, ointment & liquid vitamins.
We set up a little "hospital room" 4 her under the dining room table & l hung sheets so she'd have privacy. She laid there for three weeks, only moving to go take bathroom breaks & eat.
My 3 young kids wanted pet & cuddle her but obviously couldn't so they sang to her, read her books and picked flowers for her.....
That sweet dog was in such terrible pain and while she whimpered a lot , every day she allowed me to clean her wounds, pull away dead skin with tweezers as per vet instructions and bandage her.
Id been afraid she'd bite me but she never did. No snarling, no screeching (l would have) just sweet eyed looks and licks to my hand. Somehow, though we were virtual strangers she knew we'd just wanted her to be okay
She fully recovered and Pepper stayed with us the rest of her days, and I'll never forget her amazing ability to trust
🧡🐕🧡
Thats so gay
@@Armendosmaciato okay... you're allowed an opinion lol. Most all of my friends are gay so your comment is not an insult to me😜 you have yourself a merry Christmas lol
@@doriweishaar4901 ignore the troll xD
👏👏💗
@@Armendosmaciato Grow up, okay?
God bless to all animals' rescuer. those people are the real hero. great video. tx
what has god to do with this
Thanks.
@iNdiRa
Your absent god doesn't care. It took benevolent humans to do what your weak god is powerless to accomplish.
@@JanetStarChild Could you pull your head out of your ass? You sound like you watch a bit too much anime.
@@TheThreatActor
I watch too much anime???
Is that your funny way of saying that I'm being too rational and I should not criticize people when they say asinine horseshit?
FYI; I actually barely watch anime, not that it matters.
A lovely, gentle creature. My heart soared when she was freed... and her final tail caress to say goodbye & thank you.
Yes I felt the same
@@aliceshaw8265 Don't be snarky.
thank you, this made me tear up. humans are ruining this world. you just helped clean up a piece of that. so heartwarming
Los humanos están evolucionando, este mundo tal como lo conoces esta destinado a perecer, solo el hombre puede conservarlo mediante la evolución tecnología y explotación de sus recursos.
No we’re not.
Humans don't run this planet, Politician's and Bankers do. !??
Thanks for sharing this beautiful story / video with us. Just amazing. Love the music too.
Just amazing and YES SHE KNEW! Never ceases to amaze me how intelligent ocean creatures really are. Good job guys!!
November 2019: your video still astonished at the care you have taken - to remove that line that was cutting through her. Thank you for sharing.
Right place, right time and most important right people Nice Work.👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Her co-operation - simply incredible - a majestic creature ...
LOVE to watch this video over + over.
An amazing piece of video...everyone involved was an angel of relief to this Manta Ray!
Its amazing that a manta, turtle, dolphin, whale or other animal comes to a human for help when it was another human who caused her pain. Will we ever learn to live with nature?
It is priceless feeling when you save somebody!
Such a beautiful, gentle, iconic (to say the least) creature,
some human idiots with their "hobby" aren't even aware of how hard it is just to survive in wild environment
Poor thing, that must have hurt like hell :(
Absolutely magnificent creatures! Their beauty is in their graceful wings! What a wonderful experience that had to be.😍😊
This was AWESOME!!!
So happy to see it get help!
God bless you for your help with this matter, it's nice to see you and your friends helping the sea creatures.12-9-19.
Great job guys, simply terrific!!!
Music was hugely irritating. Let us hear the silent sounds of the ocean. NO MUSIC PLEASE!!!
She Is Beautiful! God Bless You Guys For Saving Her, I See She Said Thanks...What A Relief!
Wow, I love you guys!! That's a devil off her back, isn't it?
How amazing. She adores each of you ❤️ thank you for helping her!!
Amazing. Good job!
DANKE, DANKE......
!!! TRAUMHAFT, was Ihr tut! Das ist bitter nötig! Love you!!!!!!
Aquaman would be deeply proud of this!
I had a school ocean project and we all Picked an ocean animal and I picked the manta ray
Love this. Great job guys. Such an amazing underwater flying creature.
