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. |
Baby dolphins are called calves not children. |
That's correct. Also, baby humans are called children, not kids. |
