This humpback whale carried an entanglement for hundreds of kilometres before finally reaching Ningaloo Reef, where it died. The waves eventually pushed its body onto the shallow reef, allowing sharks to feed, but only during high tide, when there was enough water for them to reach it. As difficult as these scenes can be to witness, they remind us that nothing in nature is wasted. The whale’s final journey provided food for countless animals, becoming part of the endless cycle of life in the ocean. Nature can be both heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. #Ningaloo #australia #whale #shark #sharklover
