I've heard some stories like that before.
Seems that dolphins really hate sharks. They sometimes kill sharks, it's told, by punching them mercilessly with their nose.

Then there is the tale of the sexmad dolphin, I think it was stalking swimmers near a european cost. Anyone remember this?

Dolphins have been known to do some pretty amazing things. I remember reading a story about shipwrecked sailors in WW2 being held afloat by dolphins until help arrived.

I always wondered what kind of consciousness a dolphin really has.


was this just an instinct that is based from how they protect their young, or do they have a higher consciousness then we know?

Stay tuned for another episode of " Flipper VS Jaws!"

Dolphins are some kind of sea-wookies, IMO.

That's how I would scientifically explain it.

The only advantage the shark has is great, sharp, nasty, pointy teeth.  The dolphin has all the other advantages, including intelligence and agility.  Not to mention they have dar.  I'd put my money on the dolphin.

Ill take that bet, my money goes on he dolphins...... Does make you wonder though, are they even smarter than we think they are or was this instinct. From other stories ive read I would like to believe that they are very very smart animals who are very concious about thier actions.

5 or 6 dolphins could take on a great white, and maybe not kill it, but def. want it to be somewhere else..
