7. That was so cool
Dolphins just RULE.
I'll never forget the conversation I had, floating off the coast of Mexico in our boat, with a pod of them. They just floated there listening raptly and eeeg eeg ing back at all the right places.
It was mystical and otherworldly.

8. I remember hearing dolphins speak.
Edited on Wed Jan-23-08 07:46 AM by RebelOne
I was at a dolphin exhibit in the Florida Keys. A trainer was feeding fish to one of the dolphins and all the other dolphins crowded around him and started squeaking "Me, too. Me, too." I was dumbfounded because it was so clear.

11. Dolphins are too cool
They would fuck with me and friends while sea kayaking.We would be paddleing along and they would come up from below us and hit the bottoms of our kayaks and flip us over.They would then pop up and laugh at us ,then do it again.

12. They really are intelligent critters
They have enough brains to be so efficient at hunting, they have time to simply play.

13. I loved the Sondheim music as well.
Appropriately, it's "No One Is Alone" from Into the Woods.

18. Beluga whales do this, too.
I read an account of a beluga blowing bubble rings and playing with them just as the tape shows--much better to see it happen! :loveya:
