Moko the dolphin rescues whales

A dolphin named Moko saved the lives of two whales by leading them to safety after they became stranded off a beach in New Zealand.
The huge creatures had become trapped by a sandbar and couldn't find their way back into the ocean.
Rescuers were about to give up trying to get the whales back out to sea, when Moko swam past them and saved the day.
The dolphin approached the stranded whales and led them along the beach and through a channel into deeper waters.

Moko, who was named by local people, is well known for swimming playfully with humans.
Rescuers had been trying for more than an hour to get the two pygmy sperm whales, a mother and her calf, back out to sea, when the dolphin arrived on the scene.
One of the rescuers, Juanita Symes, said: "Moko just came flying through the water and pushed in between us and the whales.
"She got them to head toward the hill, where the channel is. It was an amazing experience."



Easter egg is as big as a child!

-cellent news! An Easter egg has gone on sale that's the same size as a nine-year-old boy!
The solid chocolate egg weighs five stone (32kg) and is on sale for an equally hefty £499.
And the egg looks pretty egg-citing too as it's decorated with hundreds of sugar diamonds.
Four of the eggs have already been ordered, with vans ready to help with deliveries, London department store Selfridges said.

Ewan Venters, Selfridges' director of food and restaurants, said: "The egg is the heaviest egg we have ever had in the store and is perfect for anyone planning a big party with family and friends this Easter."
Or you could eat it all yourself and feel pretty ill!
