dolphins experience unihemispheric sleep, where one half of the brain stays awake while the other rests and vice versa

[@yzhkkhzy]

dang this was gonna be mine

[@marcevanstein]

Yeah, that's pretty wild!

[@GaussianBluff]

The are more dolphins on earth than there are brains in an entire dolphin

[@wernerviehhauser94]

Dolphins in the NMMP program have been known to lie to their trainers (e.g. reporting "no person in the water" after they obviously detected the test person in the water).

[@jaredjones6570]

What was their motivation for lying in those circumstances?

[@wernerviehhauser94]

@@jaredjones6570 In that documentary I watched, one of the trainers said that, since it's more of a game to the dolphins than work, they just didn't want to play at that time. And a while later, they did their task flawlessly. It would seem that it takes a certain level of intelligence and conciousness to do this, and dolphins are one of the species above that level. Other animals are known to use lies to get some immediate gain, like boars leading the lead animal of a group to a lesser food source to gain time to consume a better food source oneself, but the dolphin's "I can't be bothered" attitude is pretty different.

dolphins have a prehensile male reproductive organ, meaning it can swivel, grab and grope, much like a human hand. this helps males navigate the complex, labyrinth-like reproductive tracts of female dolphins

I didn't realize until just last year is that Ecco the Dolphin is a game about FIGHTING ALIENS. How weird is that?

[@GlortMusic]

It seems very useful! I'm going to check it out as soon as I get the chance. :D

[@JamesonHuddle]

I like that dolphins are such goofy lil guys

[@WhyWouldYouTubeShowThis]

Dolphins are surprisingly close to humans in ways some people may prefer to not know! This includes both cool things like being somewhat intelligent in puzzle-solving, and really bad stuff that i can't even start to describe here!

[@SolousOrneas]

All species of dolphins known to man live on planet earth.

[@WhyWouldYouTubeShowThis]

Except John Dolphin, who is an outlier.

[@MomentofInertiaandcode-n5g]

dolphins are not fish they are sea monsters... if your definition of monster is mammal.

[@hamishfox]

I would argue that they are both fish AND sea monsters since they evolved from boney fish and you can't evolve out of a clade. For this same reason you are also a monkey. And a boney fish.

[@MomentofInertiaandcode-n5g]

@@hamishfox exactly mammals are boney monstrous fish, that descided to change and become... different, dolphins are scarier monsters, as once they changed they came back to hunt the non monstrous fish.

[@jaredjones6570]

But just what is a fish? Is everything a fish?

[@hamishfox]

@@jaredjones6570 no, boney fish are boney fish. Cartilaginous fish are cartilaginous fish. There is a big difference. Some things aren't either of those.

[@TheJanJonatan]

Dolphins have echolocation abilities. They use short clicks that bounce off objects to hear if there are objects nearby.

[@hamishfox]

Hector's dolphin is the only cetacean endemic to New Zealand, and they're little and cute.

[@jamesodonnell4473]

The 1972 Miami Dolphins remain the only team of the four major American sports (football, baseball, basketball, hockey) to go undefeated through an entire season. They accomplished this by flooding the stadiums to better simulate the environment they are accustomed to.

[@bryanjurish5433]

dolphins dig a well-placed Heraclitus reference 😂

[@a-love-supreme]

dolphins are smooth, like sharks

[@xexpaguette]

there is a dichotomy between dolphins and sharks. dolphins = friendly and sharks = deadly i wonder when it came to be like that

[@ZephyrysBaum]

Dolphins are often quite mean.

[@florianvancitters3674]

I like Dolphins

[@orchestratedpassage9468]

dolphins know my name

[@DestivaKukurice]

Dolphins replace 90% of the air in their lungs with fresh air when they breathe, while humans replace only 15% of the air in their lungs with fresh air.

[@hidde-basvancampen6197]

Dolphin are freaky little guys, zoos have to rub em off so they dont go postal

[@jojojorisjhjosef]

The hemispheres of the dolphin brain are split up to the point where they switch taking sleeping turns, if I remember correctly.

[@jaredjones6570]

Does that mean they always perform at half potential?

[@jojojorisjhjosef]

@@jaredjones6570 The Dolphins? Perhaps, compared to a human brain that is awake I suppose.

[@jaredjones6570]

@@jojojorisjhjosef Could they just learn to sleep completely so that they could also be completely awake (if they are in captivity and are safe from predators)? Sorry, just thinking out loud I guess.

[@alexthekunz]

Orca (aka killer whales) are classified as a type of dolphin.

[@sgtpaperwork]

Dolphins are the second most intelligent creatures on Earth. The most intelligent creatures are mice. Humans are third.

[@UpInSparks]

dolphins are indeed not real
