Moko the dolphin saves stranded whales
A news story broke today concerning Moko the dolphin – a lone sociable dolphin residing off the coast of New Zealand – who purportedly helped escort two beached pygmy sperm whales to open waters. Here is a BBC article about the incident. And here is a BBC article stemming from this news-story where DCP researcher Justin Gregg is interviewed about inter-species communication.
