dolphins like Heroes too: Hello, and thanks for the help.

A follow up post to Mayren’s post…

After reading Mayren’s post about Hayden Panettiere saving dolphins, I remembered I bookmarked this news about a dude getting saved by a group of dolphins after he was attacked by a shark. You’ll be amazed how intelligent these creatures really are.

((Surfer Todd Endris needed a miracle. The shark — a monster great white that came out of nowhere — had hit him three times, peeling the skin off his back and mauling his right leg to the bone.

That’s when a pod of bottlenose dolphins intervened, forming a protective ring around Endris, allowing him to get to shore, where quick first aid provided by a friend saved his life.))

That’s right, the dolphins came to his rescue and protected until he got to shore. I’ve heard other stories where dolphins came to the ad of people lost in the water.

This protective ring seems to be a defense they use for wounded creatures attacked by sharks.

((A year ago in New Zealand, the group reports, four lifeguards were saved from sharks in the same way Endris was — by dolphins forming a protective ring.))

Maybe Douglas Adams was onto something with those intelligent dolphins in his stories. And, let’s not forget that talking dolphin on Seaquest.

This story just goes to show us that these creatures may have a bigger amount of intelligence than people thought, and they’re worth saving. Beside, if all the activists looked like that Hayden Panettiere, sign me up right now!I'd take a talking (and singing) dolphin over that stupid talking ape from Congo.
