A beluga whale saved a drowning diver by hoisting her to the surface, carrying her leg in its mouth.
Terrified Yang Yun thought she was going to die when her legs were paralyzed by crippling cramps in arctic temperatures. Competitors had to sink to the bottom of an aquarium's 20-foot arctic pool and stay there for as long as possible with the beluga whales at Polar Land in Harbin, north east China.
Beluga whale Mila had spotted her difficulties and using her sensitive dolphin-like nose guided Yun safely to the surface.

Great white sharks often try to save swimmers in just this way ...
They're just really clumsy.

When she reached the surface, she began to blubber!

Simply astounding!
Animals are far more intelligent than most people I encounter.

Agree with your assessment RIBPA - they need to be careful of who they save though - Only humans hunt them for sport :-)

The diver celebrated her survival with Champagne and Caviar. Beluga, of course.

Admirable behavior by the whale, but what the heck were the humans doing again?

Wow, this is a really intelligent animal. Great story!
And this contest has to be one of the all time dumbest ideas.
