Dolphin saves whales in NZ

The case of two stranded whales saved by a dolphin off the coast of New Zealand could be the first such case in the world, a conservation worker said yesterday.

Moko the dolphin, a regular visitor to the coast of Mahia on the east Coast of New Zealand's North Island, became an instant hero after leading two pygmy whales that had repeatedly stranded themselves in deep water on Monday.
