Whales and dolphins have rich 'human-like' cultures and societies

Whales and dolphins (cetaceans) live in tightly-knit social groups, have complex relationships, talk to each other and even have regional dialects -- much like human societies. A major new study has linked the complexity of Cetacean culture and behavior to the size of their brains.

Very interesting!

With your FR name, I'm sure you know this already, but for the benefit of those who may not be aware of this yet, fungi also like to dance.

Einstein was a dolphin in disguise.

You scoff because you haven’t read Flipper and Juliet in the original Dolphin.

Asiatic fish excel in schools.

Unfortunately for societal progress, dolphins are easily distracted by their raging hard-ons.

When I first read your post here, I thought you were talking about the Dolphins football team.   A recent video clip here showed one of their assistant coaches snorting cocaine, and in the last week or two, someone posted a chart with counts of all the crimes the NFL players committed on each team (including many rapes and sexual assaults).

But upon further investigation, I found you really were talking about the other kind of dolphins, and that they really are a bunch of horn-dogs.  (Not only that, but some sites I found through the Google search said that the males often forcefully impose themselves on uninterested females, and that a bunch of males often "gang-rape" a female.   Apparently, they also seem to like humans in that way, according to some of the links in the Google search. They sound like a bunch of Harvey Weinsteins or Bill Clintons!)

Regarding your other post to me involving the dancing mushroom people, that would be a sight to behold on Halloween, wouldn't it?

I know a woman who was raped by a dolphin in the ocean. No penetration she was in a wet suit but she almost drown and her family laughed. She didn’t find any of it funny especially the peril.

King of the Hill did an episode in which Hank Hill and others were raped by a social dolphin.

I’ve also heard of bull seals doing this.

Maybe they are the cause of global warming/climate change - change the seas and you change way more than we could by changing the air....

I'm well aware of that fact. But as far as I'm concerned, if it lives in the ocean, swims with fins and eats other fish, then it's a fish........

Dolphins are some of the meanest, most conniving and, least sympathetic creatures in the ocean.

Those who attribute all these magical qualities to them have never worked with - or around them.
