Moko the dolphin is a savior of whales

Moko the dolphin had already won over humans at Mahia Beach, where she plays with swimmers in the New Zealand surf and pushes kayaks along with her snout. Now the friendly bottle-nosed has shown her empathy for other species, by saving two whales from almost certain death after they became stranded. Human attempts to guide the two pygmy sperm whales through a narrow escape route from the beach had consistently failed, and all seemed lost until the dolphin intervened. Moko, a regular visitor to Mahia Beach on the east side of North Island, appeared to communicate with the whales before guiding them to open water. Source: Times on Line
