Bottlenose Dolphin Rescue

I don't think people realize just how smart Dolphins actually are. They are incredibly intelligent and social creatures.

[@dtiydr]

They have the intelligence of about a dog, and dogs do the same.

[@bluengrey1]

@@dtiydr Nonsense. Dolphins are much smarter than dogs. Dolphins can tell the difference between two sculptures behind a sheet with very subtle differences using their sonar. They can also understand fairly abstract ideas and communicate them between each other. In a park with sea attractions they trained dolphins to perform activities on command. One of the commands was that it was up to the dolphins to decide which activity they will do next. They would go to the bottom of the pool and communicate with each other. After a short conversation they would perform the same trick together in perfect unity. And it wasn't the same activity every time, they mixed it up depending on how they felt. Wild dolphins have also been known to save humans under shark attack or drowning. These are behaviors you don't see from untrained, wild dogs.

@TheInkinJapan Surprisingly, I've seen videos where sharks (which are supposedly much less intelligent) do the same, and patiently wait while the humans does what needs to be done - even more impressive for the dolphin though, as they have to trust another creature holding them down, when the stress and pain must surely drive their urge to surface and breathe.

So happens intelligence isn't an IQ it is how adapted you are to your environment. They have no need for things that we have because their psychology and physiology are different, not because they are less intelligent. We tend to hold humans as the standard for intelligence, its probably not the best standard as Chris as pointed out; if we are so smart why are we killing each and destroying the planet in the process. Oh, we are destroying the planet and its possible to destroy a planet and unfortunately that experiment is well underway. This isn't going to very pretty in about 50-100 years. Maybe you might be around for that light to go off in your head as realize you and all the people love and care for will die.

[@Mumfin]

chris caley And they couldn't if they tried. Intelligence isn't based on sentimentality towards the envrionment. SiggyMe Intelligence is how adapted you are to your environment? All hail the chameleon master race!

[@SiggyMe]

Unfortunately you miss the point is that with our supposedly superior intelligence we can and we are, we do, True They can't wreak the environment, so are you saying that since they can't wreak the environment and we can makes us superior? They could wreak small parts of the environment by over fishing an area. As you may notice they are very adapted by their shape to the environment they live in. However they do have sentimentality towards themselves, and others. They have held people afloat when they were in trouble. They have pushed them back to land. They recognize people with medical problems such as heart problems and pregnant women. They will spend more time with people with internal health issues which they determine by using their sonar without going to medical school. My comments aren't based on sentimentally, they are based how they use their superior intelligent differently. Being the best killers doesn't make us superior however we take great pride in it, ask Native Americans who lost the war to superior killers, not necessary superior human beings.

[@GroomLeader]

Superb job guys. Thank you for helping such a beautiful mammal in need.

[@BLRCOLO10]

dolphins are like the dogs of the ocean !

[@DennisEhhhNein]

you are a dog

[@tom420guitar]

Haha I think dolphins are more the people of the ocean... Maybe seals are the dogs of the ocean?

[@algalkin]

Thomas McNabb Some people are like dogs indeed

[@johnt5375]

Dolphins are smarter than dogs.

Dolphins can pass mirror and icon picture symbol understanding test.

Oh my god this is so incredible. Dolphin’s moving its fins for him, sticking close to be freed. This is so incredible. Something about this idea that some sea creatures recognizing humans in the water like this as being safe to approach, to be rescued, to request help, just fills me with soooooo much hope for this planet.

[@kroakie4]

What is most amazing to me about this video is that this wild dolphin knew to seek out humans for help. And it even understood their gestures for it to approach them. Amazing!

[@theyreoutthere]

Fantastic! Well done! Dolphins are very smart, humans are the ones that are stupid.

[@sik59rt]

that must have been an amazing experience!

[@BenC460]

I'm sure the dolphin was very apprehensive to approach humans in the hope of getting help but it probably felt it had no other options. It was a beautiful thing that you gave it the help it needed.

Дельфин где-то умудрился зацепиться за рыболовный крючок. Освободился, но крючок остался в плавнике. Неизвестно, сколько он с ним плавал, но как-то подплыл к дайверам и попросил помощи: видимо, беспокоил крючок его. Под водой была проведена небольшая операция и счастливый дельфин уплыл восвояси.

[@Kipelovna]

***** Но видно же, батенька наденьте очки и дельфинчик уплыл счастливым и это видно, очень даже очевидно.))

[@Kipelovna]

***** Вероятно каждый видит то что хочет, с уважением!))

Great rescue Keller. What a Hero! Thanks for sharing your success story! ♡

[@Suzetteofthewest]

This video brought me to tears. Dolphins are such beautiful and amazing creatures

[@sandracarli1110]

This video is so beautiful! Thanks for uploading it. It reminds me of a documentary I heard on the words of a Greek philosopher. He said that the human kind has the gift of being able to use the hands to do beautiful things which are unique in the world. What you did is a symbol of humanity and of the beautiful things we are able to do with them.

[@sociopathsrule]

+Sandra Carli good post!

[@agnes998]

As awesome as that is, the dolphin was actually thinking "Stupid humans did this. Humans must fix it!" As he swam away, I heard, "So long, and thanks for all the fish."

[@ElSelcho77]

Your logic implies, that Dolphins hold a grudge: why would it come for help?

[@Chris-uf6jz]

Damian Sale He or she is referencing Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. In that book series, dolphins are the second smartest life forms on the planet. Humans are third.

[@agnes998]

Thanks Nelson. I'm using the "I signaled the dolphin to come over." statement to support my judgement. It's simply common knowledge that wild dolphins would instinctively know and correctly react to human hand signals; being that they are infinitely more intelligent than we.

[@aidtry182]

agnes998 After reading the last bit of your comment "so long, and thanks for all the fish" I just laughed my head off!! ROFL!!

[@trillianorfner2177]

***** agnes998 was quoting the brilliant late Douglas Adams, author of "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy". Fourth book in that series was, "So Long And Thanks For All The Fish" regarding dolphins. The books are great, movie was lousy, audio recordings from BBC narrated by Adams himself are fantastic!

[@charliehorse8686]

Amazing intelligence. He knew that the "swimming monkeys" had hands, and tools, and that they had empathy, and he even understood the diver's hand signals. He even endured extra pain while it was being removed, but he knew the outcome would be better so he didn't attack the diver through the pain. If dolphins had hands, they'd rule the world, not us.

[@Bizzboyz]

Human can have compassion too. I'm proud of you!!!
