Ocean Giants, 2011
Dolphins and whales may appear to be totally alien to us. But with their mental ability, group communication and the discovery that dolphins have individual names, they are closer to us than we ever imagined. Ace underwater cameramen Doug Allan and Didier Noirot embark on a quest to film the most amazing stories of whales and dolphins across the ocean world. They uncover new insights into the lives of these extraordinary animals that will redefine how we see them forever.

When I lived in Hawaii about 25 years ago, I swam with the dolphins almost every day. I could exhale through my mouth and make bubble rings, which I always showed to the dolphins. One day, one of the dolphins came right in front of me and stopped. It is very rare for wild dolphins to stop right in front of swimmers. I looked at the dolphin to see what was wrong, and it made a bubble ring! It was a very moving memory.

[@TheBirdboy84]

What’s even more interesting is that a recent study has shown that it is possible that dolphins in fact live in complex family environments who can identify siblings, cousins, uncles and have also friendships. Just an interesting thing to think about, imagine if we could translate their vocalisations into our language these animals might be more sentient and human like than we might originally have thought, beautiful creatures

[@Oswald_Thatendswald]

this has actually been a theory for a long time with marine scientists who have been studying whale/dolphin calls. I saw a doc about Orcas and they were taking all the different sounds they make and trying to organize them to perhaps find some sort of language, like you said, and they found that its nearly impossible due to how complex it really is. It was quite fascinating.

[@Smitty-hr2mg]

Their language is probably more complex than we can understand. Likely why we haven't done so already. They may well have an intellect beyond ours. They coordinate turn by turn play, hunting strategy, and even clearly possess a sense of sympathy as numerous reports dolphins intervening to save human lives indicates. They truly are something. I hope that one day we can understand them. It would be a pleasure to communicate with them. Though it would probably be boring for them, and would likely be put to ill use by humans in the end.

[@jennifermamaril]

Interesting indeed.. 🌸🌱 With all that complexity, they sure know how to appreciate the simplest of joys and make it multiply.. And they don't even know how much we might have needed to be reminded of that... 💕 Love that it's bubbly this amphibian part of the world. 💜✨

[@ziioncarrick6168]

I agree with everything bar the human part of your statement. My persion belief is that it's foolish and nieve to compare sentience to ourselves despite the face that we are the best example for it that we know of. My theory is that sentience can come in a wide range with characteristics that are completely diffrent to anything seen in humans due to the vastly different enviroment and biology that make up animals such as dolphins.

I am certain the divers and cameramen focusing on this helps to keep the attention of the dolphins... But, it is certainly beautiful to see their clear joy in play, even the initial trepidation and curiosity display their obvious intelligence and emotion. I have seen captive Belugas blow rings somehow underwater and manipulate them for their own amusement. Indeed, the more amused I was with the performance, the more animated the performance became... All the while, punctuated with looks to my reaction followed by an uncanny inhuman smile mirroring my own. Wonderful, intelligent cetaceans.

This is such a beautiful comment! I really enjoyed it! We’ve filmed dolphins playing games with a similar amount of attention, supposedly*, without the awareness that they are being watched. Very supposedly, because I got that from Spy in the Wild, and uhh…they do seem to have a lot of suspicious high quality footage that clearly isn’t coming from their robots! I think, though, that animals with the neural patterns to engage in this behavior are demonstrating the neurological capacity to do so, whether or not they achieve a sense of social validation.

Something the dolphins won’t have seen before? I watched a beluga whale blowing bubble rings and then playing with them at the Vancouver Aquarium back in 1982. The same beluga later posed real pretty at the surface while a guy fiddled with a complicated camera. Just as he was about to take the shot, the beluga squirted him with a stream of water that looked like it came out of a garden hose. The beluga then swam around and around its tank until the guy got dried off and was again adjusting his complicated camera. The beluga stopped and posed nicely until the guy was about to take the shot, whereupon it squirted him again exactly the same way. I wonder which being had the higher IQ? The whale’s sense of humour was lowbrow, no doubt of that. But it was funny.

@@ex0duzz they played naturally in this video compared when they are being captured and trained to do tricks. Who knows behind, some of them are experiencing violence just for them to learn the tricks. And i heard somewhere they were being drugged for the shows. Just absurd

[@gillianlemire5927]

Wow, this really furthers my awe of these creatures! Though compared to toddlers playing games it seems more sophisticated than that in their attention span, use of language, and adaptability with this game! I'm sure they are much more complex, with unique intelligence that cannot easily be measured by human standards. The brain uses what it must to optimize survival in their environment (as in humans use of language or tools) and specializes in unique and complex forms of intelligence. Thanks for entertaining my thought dump!

[@zorionzorion]

I thought the "swim through" was particularly telling. If I'm a fish, every time I swim through a ring I find somewhere in the ocean, I risk it being some kind of plastic and somehow getting it stuck permanently around my body. I imagine it goes directly against their experience to do something like that. The dolphin realized it was just bubbles and harmless, and then swam through. But also maybe I'm giving too much credit, and that dolphin did not have these thoughts.

[@Infinias]

Why too much? I would assume they are intelligent enough to identify it as air bubbles and therefore as save. I mean not by direct interaction with them but by observation.

[@rockandrollfantasy86]

That dolphin literally watched another dolphin bite at it and it disappeared. I think they can understand air bubble vs. plastic, as they were cautious and curious at first.

[@epileptix8954]

Dolphins are incredibly intelligent and pay extremely close attention to their environment and objects in it. I was pretty stunned to learn first hand while shark fishing, that they virtually never get hooked because they can tell the difference between even a live fish and live bait fish. They absolutely make connections to objects and understand them in great detail. 👍

Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc), stop posting pictures of yourself on social media (setting yourself up as a false idol) observe the sabbath day by keeping it holy - Saturday is the true Sabbath not Sunday. Do not watch vile content, do not gossip about others behind their backs, start fasting etc. Most people say they can't get a response but that's because they never put in a SERIOUS attempt. The small things that are common nowadays and don't seem like a big deal could actually be shutting off the spiritual realm for you. Every day take another step towards the Lord. Sacrifices will have to be made and it is not pleasant at first but it is well worth it. "Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded." - James 4:8 “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that He will not hear.” - Isaiah 59:2 "When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening.
