"Moko just came flying through the water and pushed in between us and the whales," Juanita Symes, another rescuer, told the Associated Press. "She got them to head toward the hill, where the channel is. It was an amazing experience."
Anton van Helden, a marine mammals expert at New Zealand's national museum, Te Papa Tongarewa, said the reports of Moko's rescue were "fantastic" but believable because dolphins have "a great capacity for altruistic activities."

The story seems to be lacking in detail, but do you think the dolphin and whales really had communicated in some way to coorperate in this endevour?
Do you think dophins are empathetic to the plight of other animals, be it humans, whales or whatever, enough to know what the problem is and to solve it?
