So who said learning a second language is a waste of time?

For all the do-gooders trumpeting the magnificence of the dolphin and its godly characteristics, have a look at the BBC article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4187551.stm to read a bit about the dark side of the dolphin.

Skippy, Sydney,

This is how God intended things to be. Wish Humans could take a lesson in this. God Bless the Humans with animal compassion.

He had only the best interest of the whales in mind,in other new zealand articles he had said that the type of whale when refloated strands its self again and dies either straight away or the next day, so he would have done them a huge favour - a quick death, rather than a very slow horrible one.

It's about the dolphin, a really lovely wild animal

Maybe we humans can learn to be as sensitive and caring as the DOLPHINS is towards others, especially other creatures on this planets.

Most of us do not care what our neighbors think, let alone about caring for other creatures whom called this beautiful planet home. I believe we are a part of one and in each we can see the ultimate reality that transcends all. Once we realize this, we can free ourselves of the selfish nature that engulfs us all in this consumer driven world.

Well, thank God the dolphin showed up. The human "rescuer" had decided to kill the whales because he had spent a whole hour in the water and because he was a bit cold.

Reminds me of the whale killed by self appointed experts in the Thames last year.

Is there any chance of Moko getting hold of our politicians and stranding them on the same beach?

This is a true miracle. God bless the Dolphin who saved the troubled whales. Nature gives a lesson to mankind.

Well Done Moko,

I believe that all creatures communicate.

A great outcome

A beautiful story - but, unfortunately, what caught my eye was the note on Pliny and the Romans. A boy was riding a dolphin but too many people showed up to watch - so they killed the dolphin. That was one of the saddest things I've ever read. And it shows that the drive to destroy beauty for short term gain, like the poor, we shall always have with us.

I have always loved dolphins, and hate seeing them in captivity. This story is just another reason to fight against allowing the US Navy to use their mega-sonar to blast these poor mammals' brains to mush. Sometimes I think that dolphins are the sea-version of mankind, only smarter and kinder.

And they say being able to speak the language from "Whales" is useless.

MM, Sydney,

What a wonderful story! How remarkable that two quite different species are able to communicate so effectively. One wonders what they might be saying about the Japanese whalers.
