Intelligent Manta Ray Asks a Diver For Help to Help To Save Her Life (Pics & Video)

Just another reason why it is so important to keep our oceans clean. A wild manta ray has been filmed letting a snorkeller remove three hooks from her eye. This touching footage appears to show the manta ray asking for help from the diver, and patiently waiting while until the hooks were removed as if she knew exactly what was going on.

The three-metre wide ray, nicknamed Freckles locally, was filmed on Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia.
