It's always nice to see humans helping strangers who dropped by
unexpectedly. Thanks for posting.

Very lucky Dolphins.  Such beautiful creatures...it's a good thing
there were plenty of good people around on the beach that day
to help them out.

I  just hope they didn't turn around and come back.
Was there a report to go with it? It was wonderful
the way all the men came running to help. Did the
women have broken arms?

I'm guessing it was a cultural thing.

The story that goes with the video is at this link:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/74u3n5a

Google Translate provided this English version:

Images from a group of 30 dolphins saving swimmers on a beach in Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, has become a true Internet sensation.

Apparently mammals were swept by strong ocean current to the edge of
the beach Arraial do Cabo. Initially tourists were left contemplating
the disastrous scene, not knowing exactly what to do, until the Coast
Guard gave the example.

Delayed about two or three minutes in the 30 animals return to the
sea. The video shows tourists and Coast Guard took them by the tail
and pushing them into the water.

Eventually all the dolphins were saved, and what could have been a
tragedy became a clear example of love for animals.
-----
This is the first time I've tried Google Translate. It's flawed but
far better than I could have done. I wouldn't have written that the
dolphins saved the swimmers though. ;)

I think the people in the video are from a culture where the women
stand aside and tend to the children while the men do all the great
and heroic things.  Like Greece, Spain, Italy, Mexico, etc.

I don't think they were North Americans, in other words.

And here's one about a whale, in a similar vein:

Lucky dolphins. They'll have some great stories to tell going forth.

I've seen this one recently, but it was marvelous to see it again.
I completely believe that the young whale was putting on a show of
both joy and thanks. Whales are not dumb. She knew they were saving
her life and that was the only way she could say thank you, humans.
Thank you, SkyEyes!

Stupid dolphins!  Didn't they notice their water was turning into sand?

Was it like that incident a few years back, where all the Air Force
Thunderbirds flew into the ground during a practice session, because the
leader had a malfunction, and the others were all so focused on following
him, they didn't realize it until it was too late?
