When the diver was suddenly attacked by a shark, the dolphins saved him by forming a circle around him an

They are, in fact, the only animals in the world whose brains match ours in terms of size and intelligence. The only creatures that concern dolphins, in fact, are sharks and man. We dont necessarily harm them on purpose, but we trap them in fishing nets and we pollute the water they swim in. So with all the good they do for us, isnt it time we started caring about them?
