Dolphins
🐬🐳
Dolphins rescuing whales (or even humans)
- Example: In New Zealand, a pod of dolphins once circled around a group of lifeguards who were being stalked by a great white shark, effectively herding them to safety.
- Why it’s fascinating: Dolphins seem to have a strong protective instinct and an ability to recognize distress in other beings—sometimes even humans. This hints at a level of altruism that science still doesn’t fully understand.
