"He must, so know the starfish and the student biologist who sits at the feet of living things, proliferate in all
directions. Having certain tendencies, he must move along their lines to the limit of their potentialities."

Even more remarkable...

...also from New Scientist, this video from the Cetacean Research Institute in South Korea. It shows a group of long-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus capensis) apparently attempting to save an injured dolphin by using their bodies to keep their companion afloat. This went on for over a half hour, until the injured animal died and was allowed to sink.
