circled protectively round a group of New Zealand swimmers to fend off an attack by a great white shark.Rob Howes and three other lifeguards were on a training swim 100 meres offshore at ocean beach near whangare when the dolphins raced in and hered the group together. According to the environment group Orca research dolphins attack sharks to protect themselves and their young.
The dolphins protected these people for 40 minutes untill they could swim to safety.

Animals are just so much smarter then people realize. I love these stories because it speaks to the world. They are able to help and they do know the difference. I am so glad they were there and this story had a happy ending.
