Dolphins live in packs also known as pods. All dolphins don't live in the same pod forever they might move from pod to pod. That's why there are smart because they ned brain capacity to move from pod to pod and not break chemistry. Most pods don't care for the leader beside the bottlenose dolphins. regardless most species pods do not have any membership. a lot of pods are separated from male to female. Male pods can live with the same members ranging from 10 to 25 years. Male pods cooperate during mating season so each dolphin gets a specific female. Most male pods compete and team up to defend themselves. There are three different types of pods, nursery, juveniles, and males. Nursey pods are full of females and their calfs. Juvenile pods

History The first SeaWorld, which was originally supposed to be an underwater restaurant, opened up in San Diego in 1964. The founders were George Millay, Ken Norris, David Demott and Milt Shedd. The first park started off with only a few dolphins and sea lions and had about 400,000 people visit
Dolphins have been around a lot longer than humans. They originated about 50 million years ago. The most common dolphin, being the bottlenose dolphin, has been around for 15 million years. Surprisingly, dolphins originated from members of the cetaceans group. Cetaceans used to be land mammals but evolved into being aquatic mammals. In From Land to Water it stated, “The transition from land to water is documented by a series of intermediate fossils from India and Pakistan.” This research helps prove how they used to be land mammals but evolved to live in the ocean. Dolphins are one out of many aquatic mammals who need oxygen, but they need water in order to live. Believe it or not, dolphins are somewhat related to hippos, camels, deer, cattle, and giraffes. In From Land to Water, “ Many features that are
She had become good friends with the dolphins and upon finding out that a few were in the same mess as she was Oceania decided to help them escape from Seaworld also. However the owner had decided to implant a tracking device into Oceania's tail fin to protect his money. When they discovered her and some of the dolphins were missing they tried to follow the signal, but she moved around so much that there was no possibility of catching up to her.
The enemies in The Cove are obvious. They’re the committees set up to bring about change but who get so caught up in legislation that they create little progress. They’re the fisherman and multi-million dollar companies who feel their livelihood threatened by the activists determined to make a difference. With all these enemies for the activists to face, it’s good that we have a hero to root for and in this film it’s Ric O’ Barry. For years, O’ Barry was known as the best dolphin trainer in the world, having trained many of the dolphins who appeared in the Flipper TV series. It was this particular job that convinced him that dolphins were not meant to be kept in captivity but to be free in the
The dolphin and I both have roughly the same body type, sort of skinny but built and compact. We both have body types that allow us to fly through the water and swim really fast. We’re both supposed to be about 5’10 to 6 feet long. The spinner dolphin has a very strong lower body which allows it to perform large spinning tricks in mid-air, it can spin roughly 2-5.5 times in one jump. The most acrobatic dolphin, that’s something we don’t have In common.
Approximately 20,000 dolphins are killed legally every year and thousands more are sold inhumanely in Taiji, Japan. The majority of these dolphins are sold to marine parks and aquariums around the world. Louie Psihoyos and Ric O’Barry’s eye-opening documentary The Cove raises awareness about the gruesome killings of dolphins in Japan. Ironically Ric O’Barry feels that he initiated this problem, as he was one of the first dolphin trainers/capturers in the 1960’s for the show Flipper. After witnessing the star, “Flipper the Bottlenose-Dolphin” commit suicide in his arms, he became a marine activist, which led to the production of this documentary to stop the problem he created. Louie and Rick expose the plight of the dolphin, the potential
Opinions ‘Flipper’ seems joyful on the outside but heartbreaking on the inside. After watching this documentary, I begin to think about the way captive dolphins were treated. Perhaps, the dolphins who are captured and trained are luckier than the rest which are being hunted and killed. In the Japanese coastal village of Taiji, there is a cove nearby where is used to distract dolphins and lure them to a cul-de-sac, after that the dolphins will be caught and killed. Many people may question, why the fishermen keep on slaughtering dolphins when dolphins’ flesh is dangerous to eat due to high level of mercury? The answer is, to mislead the public that dolphin meat as whale meat. Since whales have been being hunted and become extinct, the Japanese
I felt like the video was very biased and one-sided. I don't personally support the slaughtering of dolphins or any other animal for that matter, but it's just like Americans to step in and change how other societies do thing for the “better”.
One of the amazing things about dolphins that she mentions in her essay “Dolphins and Men...Equals?” is their sense of humor. She explains that dolphins have been seen to maneuver behind an unsuspecting pelican and snatch its tail feathers, usually leaving the bird minus a few. Other times dolphins have been noticed to grab unsuspecting fish by the tail, pulling them backward a few feet as well as playing with slow turtles by rolling them over and over (Blackstock). When I was looking for information about dolphins and their sense of humor I found an interesting joke about them that I would like to share with you. It comes from Lori’s Mishmash Humor Page and it says: “Did you know that dolphins are so intelligent that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand at the very edge of the pool and throw them fish?”(Lori) This of course may not be true but the fact is that the great intelligence of dolphins makes them realize that after they finish a task as they are told they are given fish. They also realize that if they are not given fish for what they do, they may choose not to do it until they are fed.
