This animal was seen with a large coil of rope attached to the left flank with a single loop around the body just forward of the dorsal fin. Multiple attempts by the South African Whale Disentanglement Network have been unsuccessful so far. The animal is part of the feeding groups currently active off the west coast of South Africa and has been observed to be feeding actively. On 22. February 2025 this animal was spotted with visible injuries from the mentioned entanglement but the rope was no longer attached to the animal!
