A huge whale was ensnared in a net and left to die, before a hero stepped in to rescue her.

The humpback whale was entangled in fishing nets and actually appeared to be dead.

But Michael Fishbach, the co-founder of The Great Whale Conservancy, looked closer and discovered she was in bad condition but still alive.

Fishbach and his crew quickly moved to free the whale. Fishbach narrated the stunning situation along with the video.  The whale, Valentina, rewarded her rescuers with dozens of magnificent moves.
