[00:00.51] A pod of 12 bull sperm whales has become fatally stranded. 12
[00:06.28] Was this stranding caused by one whale making a navigational error?
[00:10.84] No one knows.
[00:12.56] But with social bonds so strong,
[00:14.69] the other whales can't help but follow.
[00:18.12] One whale is still alive,
[00:20.50] but without sufficient water to support his incredible bulk,
[00:23.94] his internal organs will be crushed.
[00:27.08] Left like this, he will die within days.
[00:31.43] Thankfully, our attitude to sperm whales
[00:33.66] has changed from exploitation to conservation.
[00:37.96] So a rescue team tries to dislodge him
[00:40.84] with waves from the bow of their boat.
[00:43.87] But he's held fast.
[00:46.21] His sunburnt skin quickly blisters.
[00:49.61] The only option left is to use nets.
[00:53.19] At last he's free.
