Orcas and dolphins have indeed exhibited protective behaviors of their pod members when aggressive, rogue dolphins showed up and in fact escorted them out of the area, firmly. After working with Lilly's project myself I learned that we humans are not one of many higher minds, we are in fact one of the lesser minds. All animals have a great deal of intelligence and "higher mind". We simply don't have ways to measure that other than against our way of thinking in our own environment. We are the only animals that are continually aggressive toward all species, especially our own, will destroy ourselves in order to bring down another, attack and kill for the pleasure of it and soil our own "beds" (i.e.: the Earth) continually-virtually destroying our selves with so much self hatred that we aim to take everyone on this planet with us. We do indeed have a great deal to learn from whales, dolphins and in fact all species around the planet.
