“The entanglement goes through the mouth and then back around the tail, so this whale is essentially hogtied,” said Fair, who added the whale could have been simply curious or playful before becoming entangled. The NOAA entanglement experts are trained in operating specialized disentanglement equipment, but until their arrival on Thursday, other officials and volunteers will remain on the job.
Located close to shore, the whale isn’t hard to find, but watching it can be “heart-wrenching,” according to Fair.
