"A dolphin has guided two stranded whales to safety after human attempts to keep the animals off a New Zealand beach failed, a conservation official said."
Lovely piece of news. I wonder if the dolphin had observed human efforts to rescue whales previously and decided it was 'the thing to do'? She is obviously a bit better equipped, and while I would shy away from saying she and the whales were directly 'talking' it looks like dolphins might at least know or share some whale navigation signals (possibly like I learned some basic 'growl speak' from a dog obedience trainer and dogs can in turn learn to understand a small human vocabulary or whistle commands while not actually 'speaking' with us).
oh, and shameless plug: ;-)
