A whale grabbed her leg and shoved her to the surface. πŸ‹

A whale grabbed her leg and shoved her to the surface. πŸ‹ . . . July 2009, Polar Land aquarium in Harbin. Diver Yang Yun entered an arctic-cold tank for a free-diving contest and her legs seized at 20 feet down. She couldn't move. Mila, a resident beluga whale, took Yang's leg gently in her mouth and pushed her to the surface. Yang says she would have drowned in seconds.
