I didn't see this posted anywhere on here so i wanted to post about a great story in New Zealand about a local Dolphin that swims with the people along the beaches that the locals named ''Moko''. Two Pygmy sperm whales had beached themselves as people tried for an hour to save them but to no avail then Moko appeared and communicated with the Whales and led them away safely. This has the Marine Biologist's there baffeled as it's thought that Dolphins cannot communicate with Whales.

When i was in the Navy we always saw the Dolphins swimming next to our ship as we entered our Homeport in Jacksonville, Florida or when we entered one of the many islands in the Caribbean as it was so cool to see them along our naval ship.

Anyway that's a great story about Moko and i just wanted to pass it along.

I flippered when I read this tail. I agree they are smart, briny creatures. This story really takes the kayak and proves dolphins are not shellfish, bless their soles. At least that's what I've been herring and I'm not feeding you a line. I think people who don't support the dolphins are missing the boat. Oh my cod, the way they carp, they really have it bass ackwards. They should clam up and stop making waves. I'm serious buoys and gulls. I've haddock with them. If they keeled over it would surf them right, it shore would.
Personally, I consider dolphins my piers and support them come hull or high water. You might say we're chummy. I know you think this scampi true but it is, even if it sounds koi but make no bones about it.
