On a cool December morning near San Francisco, a distress call was radioed to shore by a local fisherman. He had discovered a humpback whale tangled in hundreds of yards of crab-trap lines, struggling to stay at the surface to breathe. A team of volunteers answered the call, and four divers risked their lives to rescue the enormous animal.
What followed was a rare and remarkable demonstration of animal behavior. This celebrated story, beautifully depicted in Jennifer O Connell s mesmerizing paintings, will make you wonder about animal emotions and the unique connections we can have with animals even whales.
