No one goes to the beach with the intention of rescuing an animal.
Most people go for their tan.
But when people at a Spanish beach saw an animal who looked like they needed help, they
didn't hesitate.
Dolphins are a very important part of our ocean ecosystem.
They are one of the fastest, most intelligent animals on earth and even have the ability
to laugh.
Dolphins use echolocation to find food, mates, and threats in their surroundings.
Unfortunately, because they rely so heavily on their sonar senses dolphins can be easily
confused by human-made sounds like boat engines and other vessels.
This causes them.
Most rescue stories involving dolphins typically involve a drowning human and a dolphin swimming
over to rescue them.
Dolphins are highly intelligent creatures as they're one of the smartest animal species
on earth.
However, this time the script changed.
On a beautiful beach in El Buzo Spain.
Beachgoers were enjoying a very sunny day.
Everyone was splashing around in the water or tanning along the beach.
Then suddenly people began to notice something odd.
As they were sun bathing and swimming around, beach goers probably noticed a dolphin a bit
away from shore.
Everyone was shocked by its appearance and many were in awe of it.
However, the dolphin then began to do something abnormal.
The people that were paying attention to the dolphin quickly noticed that it was swimming
closer and closer to shore.
One of the individuals to notice this was Inez Óliva Pérez, who noticed that the dolphin
was getting stuck in the surf.
As Pérez started to get closer to the dolphin.
A small crowd of people became interested too, and surrounded the area.
Everyone thought that the dolphin was just coming over to say hi!
However, they soon realized there was a terrible reason behind its visit.
Pérez quickly noticed that the poor dolphin was hurt.
“The dolphin's mouth was tangled in a fishing line.
It had no way of removing the line from its mouth.
It seemed; she came to ask for help”, Pérez later wrote online.
As the dolphin laid out on the sand, Pérez and the others quickly sprang into action.
They knew they had to save this poor dolphin.
A few attempts were made to loosen the fishing line and remove it.
Eventually they were able to fully remove the line from the dolphin's mouth, everyone
cheered.
The crowd, then helped to carry the dolphin back out
to sea.
From there, she floated in the water and lingered around for a bit.
Looking back at the crowd of people that had just saved her life.
Many thought she was saying, thanks.
As they rescued dolphins swam away, Pérez could see two other larger dolphins circling
in the distance, as if they'd been waiting for her return.
Even as she joined them, they seemed to linger for a few moments longer.
In that act Perez perceived a sense of gratitude for what he had done to help her.
Pérez thought they were all saying, thanks.
Pérez was able to capture the entire rescue on video, which was later uploaded onto Facebook.
It was super emotional.
“I still get goosebumps, when I think about it”, Perez said about the situation.
However, as amazing as this is, this isn't the first time a dolphin was smart enough
to ask for a human’s helping hand.
Keller Laros was diving off the coast of Hawaii, having fun exploring the underwater sea creatures.
Everything was going to plan, until he was approached by an unexpected sea creature.
So who came over to him, a dolphin swam up to Laros, and it was in serious trouble.
Now at first, the rose couldn't understand why the dolphin was coming up to him.
Then he noticed the hook.
It seems that the poor dolphin had gotten itself tangled in some old fishing gear.
The dolphin swam over and showed the roast exactly where the hook was.
The roast quickly removed it, but that still wasn't enough.
Even though he had successfully removed the hook, there was still a fishing line remaining.
So, the roast reached into his belt to pull out a pair of scissors.
The dolphin stood by patiently as he began to cut the line.
Once the roast had managed to cut the dolphin free from the line, the dolphin was ecstatic.
It was so excited in fact that it quickly swam away back into the deep ocean.
Laros felt a sense of accomplishment.
Laros who co-founded the manta Pacific research foundation, a manta Ray protection group has
stated, although he is rescued many animals before this was the first dolphin.
You won't believe what other animals he's approached.
“I've removed hooks and fishing lines from many manta rays, a few turtles”, he said.
“I even tried to shark once the shark was not successful”.
Although it can be pretty dangerous to approach a sea creature to help it.
Things change when they approach you.
It's obvious that dolphins are quite the intelligent species when it comes to problem solving.
These dolphins were very lucky to run into humans that were willing to help them out.
Now they both get to enjoy the rest of their lives in the blue sea, without struggling
to survive.
