The critically endangered whale, dubbed Snow Cone, is one of just 70 breeding females left on Earth.
The 16-year-old breeding female was partially disentangled by the Center for Coastal Studies Marine Animal Entanglement Response. They managed to remove over 300 feet of fishing line, with some believed to have remained in her mouth, potentially embedded in her jaw.
Seeing Snow Cone with another calf means she has been able to successfully breed, despite still being entangled. "The calf is new and the second documented in the Southeast this season," Wildlife Resources Division, Georgia DNR said in apost."It's not entangled, but has been observed swimming in, through and around the ropes. General opinion is that they are short enough that the calf likely won't become entangled if everything remains as is.
