Stories like this are totally awesome.
- WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A pod of dolphins circled protectively round a group of New Zealand swimmers to fend off an attack by a great white shark, media reported on Tuesday.
Lifesavers Rob Howes, his 15-year-old daughter Niccy, Karina Cooper and Helen Slade were swimming 300 feet off Ocean Beach near Whangarei on New Zealand’s North Island when the dolphins herded them — apparently to protect them from a shark.
“They started to herd us up, they pushed all four of us together by doing tight circles around us,†Howes told the New Zealand Press Association (NZPA).

I’ve heard other stories like this, but I’m about to go to sleep, so you’ll just have to find them your damn self. There! I said it!
