Title: A Dolphin asks a human for help
Post by: snowtop on February 12, 2014, 17:56:51 PM

Dolphin Asks a Human for Help .. . ..
On a night-time dive near Hawaii, 2 divers were found by a bottlenose dolphin and it started to swim around them over and over again.

 

When looking closer, one of them discovered the reason for this strange
behavior - the dolphin had a fishing line hooked around it, hindering its ability to swim.

They cut him free, and the dolphin swam away. The fact that a dolphin would come to humans for help maybe evidence of its' intelligence,
as most injured animals would never come close to a human.  This is amazing to watch and a life-time experience for those two divers.

This one is just as humbling, it's about the rescue of a humpback whale and brings a tear to the eye.
