Better to slap you with my pretty!!!!Fair enough... although Watkins has hands like Sammy the Seal.
Keep your pretty to yourself, pervert.Better to slap you with my pretty!!!!
I'll tell you something that is really cool that we've seen from a few Dolphins who are kept in captivity at a resort on Duck Key. They're kept in some big pins that are built into a canal behind the resort. They are like big cages in the actual ocean (canal) and we take our boat directly by the cages on our way through. We are only a few feet away from them and with the clear water in the Keys you can see them perfectly. We always stop and watch them along the way, and my wife usually tries everything to get their attention. The dolphins totally ignore her and anything we humans try ... and my wife especially, really really tries.
Anyway, when we have our dog on the boat, everything changes with the dolphins' behavior. Our schnauzer loves to eat live fish... When he sees these big "fish" swimming right next to us , he goes ape crap with a screeching series of barks. The dolphins find this very very fascinating. They pop their heads out of the water and will stay there for as long as our dog will continue to bark. They scream right back at our dog with a bunch of loud dolphin noises. It's hilarious. The dolphins absolutely enjoy every minute of it... you can tell that the wheels are really turning in their heads when this happens. We bring our dog by there now just for the dolphins entertainment... it's really neat.
Their eyes let you know how intelligent they are. Beautiful creatures.
Yeah, they are actually just freeloading... like being pulled by a rope attached to the boat.Interesting stuff.
Many people believe that dolphins just ride along next to boats because they like being close to mankind; I think that there's more to it than that rather simplistic view.
Oh, please film and post... I'd love to see/hear that one.

There's a joke there somewhere. Has to be.I wonder if the dolphins and dogs are simply more in alignment, conversationally, than humans and dolphins.
I guess you have to be a Dophin to get itThere's a joke there somewhere. Has to be.
