10 Facts About DOLPHINS from Scientific Studies

Welcome to this new AnimalWised video where we take a look at one of the most fascinating creatures in the animal kingdom - the dolphin! We do this by bringing 10 interesting facts about dolphins which you can use to learn more about dolphins in general, teach kids in the classroom or simply to get fascinated by this incredible marine animal. Dolphins have such great intelligence and social capabilities that we can learn so much not only about how they interact with each other, but also what dolphins can tell us about the natural world. One fact we do know is that dolphins in captivity don't fare as well as those in the wild, so the importance of dolphin conservation is one fact we hope everyone takes away. Keep watching to find out the rest!

I heard a scientist describe their sleeping habits as allowing them to rest once side of their brains at a time and for them to stay are off their surroundings and breath without actually falling unconscious

Dolphins can also distinguish their own image from the images of others. Meaning, they are able to recognize themselves and their likeness. This is highly uncommon in the animal kingdom, and demonstrates their extremely high intelligence.

Such intelligent animals should not be held captive against their will. Dolphins in capitivity should be set free.

I work with one of the most renowned dolphin research teams in the world and I am dumfounded how the person doing this narrative seems to not know why dolphin close one eye and shut down half of their brain.. This is commonly known, it is because they have to breathe... it is a simple explanation yet we are all puzzled here in Sarasota as to why you would make a video about dolphins and "science study" of them and not know the simple basics of that?

[lilchromozome]

Dolphins are so smart, friendly, and beautiful. I hope we can protect them.

I am myself making marine biology videos but I gotta say these are amazing 😍

[jefnatuurfilmer]

Dolphins also use a type of camouflage thats called back ground blending. If you want to know what that is you can look for it on the internet. Its not easy to explain if you are not an english men.

Fun fact: Dolphins can actually commit suicide by drowning themselves.

The best swimmers and cutest and safest planets of the sea creatures

[kristianneharper]

that's cruel that they keep them separated

[billgough]

Keeping Dolphins in captivity is one of the cruelest, lack of empathy, apathetic and stupid things we humans can ever do, to one of our cousins and an extremely intelligent creature.

[sylviasanchez]

Dolphins in captivity should be treated with love, compassion, they should always be around more dolphins and don't over train.

People need to realize that dolphins are taken into captivity for health reasons and after so long when they get better they can’t be set free cause they would not survive in the wild and then that dolphin has a baby and then that baby has to stay in captivity it’s not gonna miss the wild because the tank is all it’s ever known, but yes some dolphins are just taken for entertainment purposes which is horrible! But places like SeaWorld and many others have got their dolphins for health reasons
