An incredibly close encounter with humpback whales! 🐳😲 | MetDaan Animals

A humpback whale that was missing its tail and spotted in Washington state's inland waters likely lost its iconic flukes after becoming entangled, possibly in some kind of line or fishing gear, experts say. That loss of the flukes, used for propulsion, would appear to be a death sentence for the creature, last reported as seen in late July. https://abcnews.visitlink.me/e0R0CV | ABC News
