A humpback whale (горбатый кит) has been freed from fishing nets which marine experts said

Centre and explained that the creatures was … trouble. When rescuers reached … the whale,
they realised they had to dive … the water and cut the ropes. ‘It was a dangerous situation,’ said
one of the rescuers, Moskito by name. ‘One flick of a humpback’s massive tail can kill a man.’
The divers spent … about an hour cutting the ropes, and … the end everything turned out fine.
According … Moskito, the whale had several deep cuts, but floated quietly the whole time:
‘When I was cutting near its mouth, it stayed completely still watching me. It was a fantastic
moment.’
