dolphins are aquatic mammals in the cetacean order with around 40 species
distributed worldwide marine creatures such as the pilot whale or killer whale
are also part of the Delfina die ephemeral and despite their common names
they qualify as dolphins the anatomy of these creatures typically consists of
streamlined bodies two pectoral fins a boneless dorsal fin which is used for
stability and a tail fin for propulsion dolphins are fast swimmers and some
species can travel at thirty four and a half miles per hour when traveling the
jumps that they perform above the water's surface can help them conserve
energy as there is less friction in the air dolphins have conical teeth which
are well adapted for capturing fast-moving prey they also possess
incredible hearing and can use echolocation to track down objects of
interest dolphins are probably best known for
being among the planet's most intelligent animals the brain to mass
ration in some species is second only to humans they are known to learn teach
cooperate scheme and grief there's also belief that they are self-aware which
may be an indication of highly developed abstract thinking similar to that of
human beings even though dolphins have long been thought of as playful and
friendly creatures they might also be a darker site number 4 attack at Dolphin
Park in Mexico during a swim with the dolphins program
at Isla Mujeres in Mexico a Swedish couple on their honeymoon were terrified
when the marine creatures started attacking them Sabina CAD brand and
Christopher Stenstrom had joined the program along with six other tourists at
first things were going great according to CAD brand the instructors
had told them to splash the water and have the Dolphins reciprocate then
suddenly a young woman started screaming that she'd been bitten afterwards the
same dolphin named Picasso bit another woman before plunging his teeth into can
brands thigh the trainers reportedly looked confused as the tourists were
bleeding as screaming in the pool Stenstrom compared the situation to a
scene from the movie Jaws only with dolphins the honeymooners weren't hurt
significantly but one in a Taurus who'd been bitten required a wheelchair for
the trip to the hospital
dolphins a widespread and most species tend to prefer the warmer waters of the
tropics zones the bottlenose dolphin is the most common dolphin species and it
can be found everywhere except for the Arctic and Antarctic regions these
creatures have a long-standing relationship with humans and are a
frequent addition to aquariums or water parks this is sometimes regarded as a
controversial matter many animal rights groups argue that these creatures which
exhibit such intelligence and potential for self-awareness shouldn't be kept in
captivity the military of Russia and the u.s. trained bottlenose dolphins as
military dolphins to locate seam lines and detect enemy divers in fact the
deepest known dive for a bottlenose dolphin is 990 feet and it was achieved
by Tuffy a dolphin trained by the US Navy in the south of Brazil a part of
bottlenose dolphins is known to cooperate with the local human
population by driving fish into fishermen's nets in 2004 off the coast
of New Zealand a pod of dolphins circled for lifeguards for an almost an hour in
order to prevent a great white from attacking them despite the overall
positive interaction between dolphins and humans it's worth remembering that
these are strong and unpredictable wild animals that can cause serious damage
number 3 dusty in 2013 dusty a female bottlenose
dolphin swimming close to the coast of Ireland had gained a notorious
reputation for attacking humans however it hadn't always been so the dolphin had
been frequently visiting beaches in North Claire since 2000 and became an
attraction at Doolin for constantly interacting with bathers and playing
with them sometimes for hours on end the dolphin was reportedly completely
unafraid of people and actively sought out swimmers she even starred in an
Irish tourist board ad campaign while most people reported fantastic
encounters with dusty others particularly in more recent years
weren't so fortunate some believe that Dusty's aggressive
behavior was the result of people teasing and mistreating her others claim
that is a form of rough play practice among adult dolphins which the human
body simply can't withstand dusty attacked at least five people all of
whom required hospitalization two women were rammed by dusty within ten days one
was in the abdomen and had to be rushed to the hospital via ambulance the other
who had been regularly swimming with dusty suffered a broken rib compressed
vertebrae and lung damage it got so bad that even after dusty had moved to
another area marine conservationists issued a warning about the dangers of
swimming with her
when it comes to the massive killer whale there's no doubt that this apex
predator this Cable will have killing an adult human being within minutes however
smaller dolphin species such as the bottlenose can also be very dangerous if
not approached properly a certain way in an average 660 pounds it can reach over
13 feet in length on a body streamlined by millions of years of evolution this
means that it's almost impossible to overpower it in the water a bottlenose
can drag a human under water and drown them break their bones with a headbutt
or tear flesh off with their teeth according to marine biologist Ben Wilson
dolphins use the incredible ultrasound abilities to home in on the vital organs
of the victims that will cause most damage a bottlenose pod will also mob
together when feeling threatened and this group behavior can be dangerous
even for the largest sharks bottlenose dolphins are known to display aggressive
behavior especially during mating season males will fight and headbutt each other
for rank and females gangs of males are known to sometimes isolate a female slap
her around with their tails and then forcibly copulate with her some
bottlenose populations of practise infanticide and killed porpoises with no
intention of consuming them number to tile the killer dolphin in March 1994 a
solitary male bottlenose dolphin started visiting the area of South Sebastia in
Brazil the locals named him Te'o in honor of the town Te'o was spotted daily
following boats and after a few months he moved north to a local beach it would
frequently get closer to bathers he became very popular for playing and
interacting with people in the water before long people started abusing the
dolphins friendliness some tried to grab his fins so that he would drag them
through the water others attempted to restrain the dolphin to have their
picture taken with him tried to pour bear in his mouth or stick an ice cream
cone into his blowhole which is a sensitive part
of a dolphin's body in November that same year Te'o started to retaliate
against the abuse that month he sent 28 people to the hospital with various
injuries in December two male swimmers jhamora and Wilson Pedrosa were
harassing tail and possibly trying to restrain him
the dolphin Graham the Pedrosa breaking his ribs and killed Moreira Te'o who
became known as killer dolphin returned to his own kind for good in the summer
of 1995 some speculate that he was killed out of revenge for the man whose
life he'd claimed and the dozens of bathers he'd injured it will be wise to
treat dolphins with respect and to it's appreciate that most species are more
than capable of hurting you or even worse whether you are swimming with
these creatures in the wild or in captivity it's important to always do it
under the supervision of trained professionals who understand dolphin
behavior dolphins are naturally curious of humans and in order for an
interaction to go well used that the dolphin approach you don't attempt to
grab restrain or pet dolphins unless they swim close to you and stay with you
the signs that a dolphin will allow such an interaction but usually pretty clear
if a dolphin slaps its tail on the water's surface or claps its jaws at you
it probably means it's displeased with your behavior and it's time to get out
of the water if it grabs your arm or leg in its jaws don't pull away as you'll
injure yourself in his sharp teeth humans are far from a Dolphins typical
prey so it will most likely let go in a few seconds if it doesn't and you feel
like your life is in danger only as a last resort punch it in the melon attack
its blowhole or go for the eyes number one attack at SeaWorld Orlando while
feeling the dolphins at SeaWorld Orlando eight-year-old Jillian Thomas was
attacked by one than a marine creatures the dolphin partially jumped out of the
water and grabbed the girl's arm in its jaws
her parents captured the attack on video luckily their daughter wasn't pulled in
the water but she was left with four puncture wounds on her
according to the parents seaworld downplayed the attack a spokesman for
the park subsequently blamed the incident on the guests failure to follow
dolphin feeding instructions the young girl's parents posted a video online and
soon became viral a representative for the national ocean and Atmospheric
Administration compared feeding dolphins and marine mammal parks to feeling Lions
bears or alligators in zoos claiming that it should be treated with the same
caution fortunately the girl wasn't seriously
hurt but the incident sparked new debates about properly regulating the
interaction between dolphins and humans in captivity it's acceptable for guests
to feed these creatures but in the wild it's considered a federal offense thanks
