The Dolphin Team Saves The Swim Team From A Great White Shark!

Dolphins have been known for many decades to be playful animals that seem to be fond for human company. Dolphins have also saved people from stressful situations.  Below is just one of many cases where a dolphin has come to the aid of humans.

Ron and three female lifeguards were doing their daily training about 100 yards from the coast of Whangarei New Zealand when they were interrupted by a group of dolphins. The dolphins had made a beeline for the swimmers and enclosed them in a tight circle. The dolphins began to swim rapidly around them for over 35 minutes slapping the water with their tails.

Rob found an opening in the circle and moved away from the group. Annoyed one of the larger dolphins started to come after him and that is when Rob saw the Great White Shark!  The Shark came towards the women in the group which included Rob's fifteen year old daughter.  The dolphins reacted by swimming more frantically moving up and down to where you couldn't tell what was human heads and what was fins and tails. A rescue boat approached the group and the shark left.  However the dolphins remained next to the group as they swam back towards the beach.  The entire time the Great White Shark never broke the surface of the water it remained below the swimmers and dolphins.  Rob was so stunned by the whole experience he didn't tell any of the swimmers about the shark until the next day!
