Were they monkeys then do you think? Theyre warm-blooded like whales so did they live on the land before?

The thing that always impressed me about dolphins was that some feral species will allow a human to swim into the center of the group and play with the children. Given that dolphin groups are deeply protective of the children and usually attack anything that comes near them which isn't food, this says they have evaluated us and made a judgement.

I also like to think this judgement is reached based on some deep insight into human character which reflects well on all humanity. However, it more likely just means they are ill-informed.

Given their intelligence and reputation for caring for humans, it is sad to see the wholesale slaughter of Dolphins continues in Japan.

You know the Korean national urban bird, the 까치, the magpie, they are pretty smart, too.
I watched one once hassle a dog for quite a long time. It would sit, the dog would run up, the bird would flitter over it then look back and caw laughingly at the canine. When the dog finally gave up the bird flew behind it and went 'Raar!' This drove the dog nuts and after a long while at it the dog got really exasperated like almost going crazy because the bird would sit on a higher perch and laugh down and whenever the dog gave up the bird would taunt him again and again.

Baby dolphins are called calves not children.

Correct. And its pronounced, "wheeeracacaca," with the first part rising and and last part falling off. At least in the North Pacific dialect.

Maybe, I should start learning North Pacific Dolphinese. But it might get expensive paying the Dolphinese instructors in fish currency... Laughing

You made my day, Big Bird. Very Happy

... a person standing by the pool's window noticed that a dolphin calf was watching him. When he released a puff of smoke from his cigarette, the dolphin immediately swam off to her mother, returned and released a mouthful of milk, causing a similar effect to the cigarette smoke.



What made my day was entertaining the idea that Big Bird actually believes that horse-squeeze.
