Marine mammal rescue teams have urged boaters in waters off Orange County and San Diego counties to be alert for a whale that appears struggling.
A juvenile humpback whale was spotted off Rancho Palos Verdes on Saturday, July 13. The animal was entangled in rope that went around it tail and partially impacted one of its flukes. It was also dragging a 10-foot line with either a buoy or float.
A juvenile humpback whale was spotted off Rancho Palos Verdes on Saturday, July 13. The animal was entangled in rope that went around it tail and partially impacted one of its flukes. It was also dragging a 10-foot line with either a buoy or float. Mauricio Tassara, a drone photographer from Torrance, was first alerted to the whale and its troubles by Chris Batts, a boat captain for Harbor Breeze Whale Watching Tours in Long Beach.
“It jumped 20 to 30 times,” he said, adding the footage was extra exciting because it was his first-ever humpback. “It was chin-slapping and stuck it’s pectoral fin up and splashed the water. It was bittersweet because it was entangled. The rope was wrapped around its tail and the right side was kind of flopping down. But it kept jumping and doing its thing.”
