DOLPHINS SAVE SWIMMERS FROM ASHARK ATTACK ifeguard Rob Howes, his daughter Niccy, 15, Karina Cooper. 15, and Helen Slade, 16, were swimming 100m out to sea at Ocean Beach in New Zealand when suddenly seven dolphins swam towards them. They were behaving really weirdly Mr Howes said, 'swimming in circles around us, and hitting the water with their tails." One dolphin swam towards Mr Howes and Helen, who were about 20m away from the other two, and was trying to push them towards the other two girls. Then suddenly I saw another huge fish swimming around me and Helen, said Mr Howes. It was in fact a three metre-long great white shark. Itwas only about two metres away from us, he said. At that point, he realised that the dolphins 'were trying to herd the four of us together to protect us'. The shark then went towards the other two girls. Mr Howes was terrified, especially because one of the swimmers was his daughter. But the dolphins pushed the four swimmers back together and circled around them for another 40 minutes. Mr Howes decided not to tell the three girls a shark was sharing the water with them. Fortunately, the shark finally swam away, and the swimmers all reached the beach safely. 1swim with dolphins perhaps three or four times a year and I have never seen them behave like that, said Mr Howes. However, dolphin expert ingrid Visser said that there have been other reports from around the world about dolphins protecting swimmers. She said that, in this case, the dolphins probably sensed the humans were in danger and took action to protect them. Adapted from a Britis newspaper
