Sad news from New Zealand today, as it seems that Moko the friendly dolphin has died. A lone bottle-nosed dolphin that had taken to swimming with humans in Mahia Bay south of the city of Gisborne, Moko became a popular tourist attraction and made headlines worldwide two years ago by guiding a pair of distressed pygmy sperm whales out of dangerous shallow water. His life was not without controversy, however. Over the past year, as Moko entered his adolescence, reports of increasingly aggressive behavior spread. Due to the sensitive nature of the following video, and since this is an obituary and all, we'll bury it below.

My assigned username for one of the core facilities I deal with is Moko; I'd always thought of it more as a gorilla name and here it's been a bipolar Antipodal dolphin all along.

My country seems to have some weird fetishism for dolphins; this hasn't been the first 'friendly dolphin national icon' that we've seen (Pelorus Jack and Opo being the antecedents).
petejayhawk I think you are confused [as well as sick] attributing human attributes to dolphins. !
1000's of people in New Zealand are mourning our beloved friendly dolphin Moko.
Nineteen centuries ago, Plutarch, a Greek moralist and biographer made this statement: "to the dolphin alone, beyond all other, nature has granted what the best philosophers seek: friendship for no advantage."
We will miss his friendship.
I dolphis as much as the next guy, but we need them on our side in The Great Primate Wars of 2012©.
Exactly, which is why this is such a tragedy. Newly aggro aquatic mammals are just what we're looking for.
90% of the Earth being covered in water adds this to the long list of urgencies! No mokomaki for Nobu.
The Chimps and the Machines against the dolpins and us? Only a psychic squid knows who'll prevail.

I'll pour a forty of mackerel on the ground tonight.
Have the Tiger Woods animation people put together a simulation of how Moko might have attempted to mate with a human?
I weep for my fellow recreationally sexual mammalian brethren.
