"They don't attack people in the water, and there are those myths and folk tales about dolphins saving people."

Lots of small boats and the dolphins saving everyone from drowning in one of those squalls you whip up down in these latitudes.

Examples include dolphins saving humans from drowning or from shark attacks, and a multitude of behaviors observed in primates, both in captivity and in the wild, and in particular in bonobos, which are reported as the most empathetic of all the primates.

There are stories through history about dolphins saving swimmers.

We often hear stories of dolphins saving people who are drowning, but I don't know if they are true.
