Wild Dolphin Asks Divers to Help Free Itself from Hook. Dolphins may be one of the planets smartest creatures, but one thing they lack are opposable thumbs. However, they are clever enough to recognize that, in a pinch, they can approach humans to get help with those hard to reach spots. In this video, a bottle nosed dolphin with limited mobility due to a hook and fishing line restricting a pectoral fin, approaches some divers for help. Diving instructor Keller Laros noticed that the dolphin was hanging around them, and that it wasnt able to move freely. Closer inspection revealed the ocean debris lodged in the fin. Thankfully, the dolphin not only allowed the divers to attempt to work the line and hook out of the fin, but actually shifted its body to make it easier. The divers were able to remove the fishing line which allowed increased movement for the animal. Unfortunately, the hook was not able to be removed. https://youtube/watch?v=wL9I4BxuryY
