A Pod of Dolphins Guards a Humpback Mother and Calf
ABOARD THE MANUTE'A, CA - JANUARY 30: A person inside an underwater viewing pod in the hull of a catamaran watches bottlenose dolphins off the southern California coast on January 30, 2012 near Dana Point, California. A coalition that includes Native American tribes, Earthjustice and the Natural Resources Defense Council is on the National Marine Fisheries Service for more protection for dolphins , whales, and other migrating marine animals from the use of sonar in training by the US Navy on the West Coast. Environmental groups argue that mid-frequency sonar alters the behavior of sound-sensitive marine life and, in some cases, causes fatal results. Some whales are believed to communicate across hundreds of miles of ocean through sound. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
Somebody on a whale watching boat off the coast of Australia posted video of a pod of dolphins PROTECTING a female humpback and her calf from five male humpbacks that are trying to mate with her.
The female doesn’t want to mate because it would separate her from her calf . . . and it would probably die.
