Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Cool video.
How do we explain the dolphin's understanding that a human could help without anthropomorphizing? Former captive?

Yeah, that is pretty neat. I would have been blown away to have a wild animal trust me that much.

Fantastic, thanks so much for posting. The dolphin may have been around a lot of humans if he hangs around divers in Hawai'i, but it's very obvious he knew exactly what he was doing.
I've had turtles who lived on regular dive sites come up to divers to have barnacles cleaned off their shells.

it really is amazing. There's a video out there with a wild elephant that is freaking out but calms down enough to let the rangers help it out of the pond/mud it got stuck in. As if it knew the humans were trying to assist it.
I've seen interesting inter-species play, I wonder if it extends to helping each other as well? things that make you go hmmmm
