Jaws vs. The Dolphins

Reuters reports that a pod of dolphins protected swimmers from an attacking great white shark off the coast of New Zealand's North island:

"They started to herd us up, they pushed all four of us together by doing tight circles around us," (Rob) Howes told the New Zealand Press Association (NZPA).

Howes tried to drift away from the group, but two of the bigger dolphins herded him back just as he spotted a three-meter (nine feet) great white shark swimming towards the group.
