Swimmers have told how a pod of dolphins protected them from a great white shark off the northeastern coast of New Zealand.
Rob Howes and three other lifeguards were on a training swim about 100 meters offshore at Ocean Beach, near Whangarei, when the dolphins raced in and herded the group together.
“They started to herd us up, they pushed all four of us together by doing tight circles around us,” Mr Howe said.
When he tried to drift away from the group, two of the bigger dolphins herded him back.
He then saw why. A three meter long great white shark was cruising toward the group about two meters below the surface.
