On January 11th, off the coast of Hawaii, a dolphin who got into some trouble approached divers for help. The dolphin, whose pectoral fin was pierced by a fishing hook and whose body was entangled in fishing line, let out a cry and swam up to one of the divers, nudging him gently. The diver, Keller Laros, said it was obvious that the animal was looking for help. He was able to cut the fishing line and remove the hook from the animal’s fin, but when more divers approached the dolphin to help untangle it, it swam off and didn’t return.
