Moko, An Incredible Dolphin Tale...

Dolphins are amazing, they have all our best human qualities in abundance; they thrive on being playful, gentle, and caring...

Here is a truly incredible dolphin tale where a dolphin voluntarily "talks" to and rescues two beached whales. His name is Moko, and he regularly plays with swimmers off the beach (there is video of him too):

Some Dolphin facts:

Some dolphin species can swim as fast as 25 miles an hour for long periods, more than 3 times faster than any humans

Dolphins can jump as high as 20 feet out of the water
