Manta asks snorkeller for help

I don’t normally post stuff from Yahoo News, but I thought this one was uplifting and worthy of posting.

I think they look more like freedivers.

That's really sweet but also a little disconcerting. How much do these critters comprehend beyond what we assume?

Absolutely understood. I think we frequently underestimate animals.
