Paraglider films whale rescue off Mexico

A paraglider was on a flight off the coast of Mexico when he witnessed the rare sight of a rescue of a whale, which had got entangled in fishing gear.<br /><br />The footage, captured on January 12 off Cerritos, near Cabo San Lucas, shows the moment a fishing boat approaches the stricken whale.<br /><br />The fishermen on the boat then proceed to rescue the animal and eventually manage to cut it free from the gear.<br /><br />The filmer writes: ''I saw some whales breaching just offshore so I flew over to take a look.'' <br /><br />''When I got close to the pod, I noticed one whale that looked very pale and I saw that it was tangled in a lobster rig.<br /><br />''I circled the whale for about 10 minutes trying to figure out what to do. <br /><br />''A fishing boat saw me circling and approached to see the whales. <br /><br />''I flew over the boat an yelled down to them that the whale was tangled. <br /><br />''The fishermen proceed to cut the whale free from the rigging. It took approximately 45 minutes to cut the whale free.''<br /><br />++CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: MUSIC IS ROYALTY FREE++
