Animals and humans may not speak the same language, but that doesn’t mean they can’t communicate.
In this astonishing video filmed near Ningaloo Reef off the coast of Western Australia, a giant manta ray is shown approaching a group of snorkelers and asking one of them for help by approaching him and showing him her injury. The manta ray had a hook stuck in her underneath eye, and was trying to call attention to it. Taking the cue, Ningaloo Marine Interaction wildlife guide Jake Wilton gently removed the hook and photographer Monty Halls caught the moment on tape.
