Just in case we needed any more proof that animals are amazing, intelligent and caring individuals, they’ve hit the news this week with tales of heroic deeds and groundbreaking communication skills. Moko, a friendly bottlenose dolphin known in the Mahia beach area in New Zealand, swam to the rescue of two stranded whales, that us humans had not managed to refloat despite several attempts. There was talk about having the poor whales euthanized to prevent them from suffering any longer, but Flipper-esque Moko escorted them out to safety. That is so cute, and so worthy of our respect.

In other news, researchers have discovered that monkeys have a far greater language system than previously imagined, combining different calls to make them meaningful just like humans do. See, we told you animals are awesome.
