Animal Behavior: Wild dolphin seeks medical assistance

[rabid1st]

Of course, I have often spoken of the intelligence of our dolphin and whale brothers and sisters. I run into some argument when it comes to Native cultures that hunt whales traditionally. This video will show you why it is never okay to harm a Cetacean. It is long, but worth the wait. If you skip ahead you will miss the crucial decision making of this alien creature. Notice how it imitates the awkward motions of the divers as it asks for help. Notice how it believes we are intelligent?  While we are still daring to debate the issue about it.

This video left me awed and tearful. Good dolphin. Good humans. It is like Christmas...peace on Earth and all that mushy stuff.

Awww, nice to see a benign interaction between us and dolphins - and anyone who doesn't think a dolphin is reasonably smart is not reasonably smart themselves.

Thanks, and some Horsey vids

Heartening! The counter-balance of seeing that even if some humans are a cause of harm, other humans can be a cure is a blessing !

Someone else emailed it to me the next day! Thank you for giving me first view!

P.S. - I watched the horse videos on this website and immediately thought of you! If you enjoy these as much as I expect you will (which is: very much!), then you might find that you enjoy the extra vids of Draco's owner's YouTube page. Happy animals are adorable to watch!! Enjoy. :)

I agree with your assessment of the non-smart people. Sadly, many of them are passing themselves off as professors and pastors and the like.
