Dolphin Helps Wounded Mate
02/18/09 - Amazing
“A dolphin badly injured in a shark attack has been escorted by a mate into the care of human hands. Nari sustained a hideous wound across his head and back, and when he went missing, wildlife experts feared he had died. The 12-year-old dolphin failed to turn up for his ritual feeding off the coast of Queensland – but so did his older companion Echo. But after three days the pair turned up with the rest of the group. Mr Trevor Long, a dolphin expert from Sea World on the Gold Coast, said: ‘We didn’t see Nari again until the third day, when he turned up with Echo at his side.” w/ photos
