Karina Peters what’s does pay have to do with happiness or greed?

[@ryanwaugh1]

Karina Peters research actually show otherwise. Money is by no means a source of happiness. In fact wealth actually can contribute to depression. Think about the nice things you’ve bought. How long do they make you happy? I’ve had above average cars and rubbish cars. There’s no relation to happiness. Happiness stems from yourself. You need to decide to be happy. If you unhappy you can change that. More wealth or a better pay Cheque is not going to change it permanently.

For anyone curious, I want you to imagine how much this pod of sperm whales are sacrificing. I say this because these whales feed in the deep abyss which that dolphin definitely cannot survive. Plus, dolphins can only hold their breath for 10 minutes tops whereas the whiles can go without oxygen for 90 minutes! This is a phenomenal thing to witness!

[@thurston383]

I thought the same thing, but they can communicate over hundreds of miles so it wouldn’t be much of a problem

[@LMvdB02]

@@thurston383 yeah the dolphin might've even found a way to communicate with the whales over distances or follows their sounds when they dive.

[@LuckeyClover]

What if these whales just came back up for air, and the dolphin found them? And the diver was just luckely in the right place and time to witness 2 different species playing together? And when the divers are gone the whales go back to doing their own thing and the dolphin alone again? I dont doupt intelligence in these animals, but I cant seem to belive that these whales would go against their natural instinct to be in deep water and feeding there🤷🏾‍♀️ Maybe the dolphin just craves to be with more animals and tries it's best to keep up, and when it cant go any deeper it tries using echolocation to find them again, but eventually he wont find them again?

[@AmberOcean]

Different species of cetaceans have been known to learn each other's languages. One orca named Shouka who lived with only dolphins for companions for quite a few years has learned to make dolphin vocalizations.

[@justeremiahsjourney]

Mary Rhudy Although there is a lot of information being passed along through vocalizations, my guess is that much of sea mammal communication is through body language. Just like with humans. In my underwater adventures I've learned to speak with my body and interpret what theirs are saying as I attempt to photograph or interact with them. A calm mind does wonders for having sea life approach me. I'm not naieve enough to assume it's animal ESP so I've always assumed it's just body language.

[@TheSonicfan129]

Freediving Fanatic But both whales and dolphins use ultra sounds that we can't hear to communicate. You can hear in the video soft and loud clicks. My guess is that the low ones are the whales, and the loud ones are from the dolphin. The dolphin has learned to speak to these whales by mimicking their sounds as best as it can. No it can't do the massive moans that whales do, but they still can speak through sound to tell each other apart. I do agree that their motions also communicate things (possibly etiquette) to both whales and dolphins, but both species use sound as their main method of communication and navigation. Just a bit (okay, a LOT) of info for you, not trying to fully disagree. Hope you have a great day today!

I would imagine the dolphin initiated this as it could not keep up with a dolphin pod and the whales being slower provide it with safety.

Sorry all, I pop in and out in terms of comments. Yes, I was in the water and no it doesn't get unpleasant really. While sperm whales can have extremely strong 'vocalizations', this is thought to be mainly for hunting at depth, at the surface the strength is much less, it feels like being near a speaker, but not a crazy rock speaker, just a gentle feeling I'd say, and the clicks and whistles etc, are more general than you would have with head phones at high volume.

What a beautiful sight, humpback whales have also been seen in the Caribbean giving "rides" to dolphins. The dolphin lays on the whale's head which it then lifts out of the water and the slides down the whale's back and into the water.Those who observed this behaviour believe it to be plays as there is no sign of distress from either animal. Also both animals cooperate with each other whilst interacting.

[@milanka882]

Humpback whales will put everything on the line to protect those marine mammals smaller then themselves from mammal eating orca. They will even carry them away from the predators. Humpbacks and sperm whales have the largest brains on the planet, with a frontal cortex vastly larger than our own (the vast majority of their brain actually). It's the part of the brain that controls higher emotions... compassion, empathy, altruism etc.. They actually have more of those qualities than we do. It's not surprising that these sperm whales have done this, and I wouldn't mind betting it's been done many, many times before. It's just that nobody's seen it before. It's also not surprising that humpbacks will fight orca head-on for species they have no vested interest in saving. But then again as a Christian I believe that God breathes these high emotional qualities into whales as they personify those particular aspects of Him who made them.

[@christoast3959]

My dad has swam with the sperm whales and he said the clicking is like 4000000 times louder than what you can hear here

[@parden3743]

That may sound a little scary and wonderful to hear

[@isabellancali5388]

I actually had to put my sound down listening to them. It’s remarkable on how they use echolocation to communicate and find food, predators etc. I’ve seen others comment about it and I’m just amazed at how loud and deadly it can be.

[@Vaughanflaherty]

yeah their cliciking is loud enough to kill humans if continuous and at its loudest.

[@duczman76]

they're the most loudest species they can generate clicks with a volume from up to *240db* ...a spaceshuttle lauch ~200db.and my neighbors got an interim bleeding and bitching around when i'm using my tablesaw on my open-air workshop at the balcony with only 94db 🤔 with the ear protectors it's barely hearable to me 😂😂

Aren’t dolphins more intelligent though so shouldn’t it be the other way around?

The video owner already explained (somewhere on a topcomment) It wasn that loud, like if a speaker is near you -not a punk rock speaker. Its like using your earphones with full volume he said (or something like that, just look for the real com,ent its better)

For those who wrote that sperm whales sacrificed a lot. As you can see, group of whales have calf that cannot dive deep as well and someone has to care about it. So that’s why dolphin can live among them

[@kingdoc3262]

To NOT Already see emotions in animals I have observed, reflects the mind and emotions of the observer. I remember this kind of statement as a child then I observed animals and saw, then I went back to those who taught me that and found the error. It's a spiritual thing

[@kingdoc3262]

@Barbazboub- No, what I'm saying is that throughout history since time began animals had emotions. If you're mind is barbarous, so are your eyes. If you kill without feeling because you think an animal or that which is different than you is worthless and you have the Arrogant right to kill it, such a person and People are blinded to the emotions of both animals and other people. A spiritually awakened person doesn't need studies and science to see that. If it takes science to bring you humanness and ability to see joy, smiles, love, attachment, family and not just "instinct" (something else I was taught as a child by lost teachers) than one needs to conclude that something is wrong with the observers. Owners of dogs and cats have been a great source of education to open the eyes of the blind towards these truths. And... I say this as a scientist... I hope that it is clear. I apologise for the confusion as my original second sentence was in reference to the post not my first sentence. Do enjoy the light that the virus is bringing you and the world... Make room in your heart and spaces for animals and plants. Earth is not just for humans nor one group of humans.

[@MisterK9739]

King Doc Nothing to do with "spiritual awakening". Some animals can express complex emotions. Others don't. Some are altruistic, others aren't. It's science.

[@somuchsoul3041]

Mister K the whole point of his comment is that you should treat everything with the same level of respect and love, as animals reflect who you are as a person treating another living thing. The point isn’t that some animals are dumb and that makes it ok to exploit them or that they don’t suffer or whatever other justification for our use of that animal, it’s that the way you treat any animal reflects characteristics about you and that you should be compassionate to all animals as it is a representation to yourself to be compassionate

[@bluehornet197]

@@Parpeing Im sorry but I dont believe that I dont doubt what you said is correct but humans are the only creature who is able to show as much empathy as us humans can we humans can also show the greatest love out of all the animals in the animal kingdom you can't show the greatest love without showing the greatest empathy it's still not clear if animals are even capable of empathy

[@rich1051414]

I remember seeing a news story about this. His pod rejected him... Dolphins commonly reject lame calves, sometimes they even kill and eat them, because their hunting style requires high athleticism and cooperation, otherwise they would fail. They herd together fish so they can all get more food once. They chase the fish from all direction until they all diverge into a giant fish ball, then they go to chow town. They would not be able to support a lame calf since it wouldn't be able to contribute or keep up.

That is beauty, right there. Ya know how they say that looks don't matter and that what's on the inside is important? Those Sperm Whales for sure show love and compassion for that dolphin. And it's like what someone in one of the previous comments said, they could've left that poor dolphin if they didn't want to have anything to do with it, but from what I can tell, whether it's instinct or not, they've got empathy. Man, I love when one species helps another for one good reason or another. It's just beautiful.

I wish everyone on Earth could feel that same emotion towards animals, it's indescribable & memorable.

[@doublemosasaur5091]

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who dont even have the feeling of "empathy" in this world. Its just sad, humans and animals are literally the same, they have lifes, they have enjoyments, they feel pain just like us, the only reason some people think we are superior to them (i mean superior by human lifes over animal lifes, not physical or mental superiority) is cause we are supposed to be "social animals" and are "together". But thats just not true, just a human invention. No one is supposed to obey their fellow humans. No one even cares about each other in this world. And even if we have to care about each other, why would i sacrifice an animals life over a human stranger that i dont even know? Just tell me a reason. Does the animal not have a life?

[@janellehoney-badger6525]

@@doublemosasaur5091 Absolutely. Sadly, some cultures, religions & rulers brainwash their people to avoid natural human traits through fear or blind trust. This is why I’m against this unnatural mass immigration into western countries, pushing rival cultures together, preying on modern western empathy to enforce changes to our culture so we don’t “offend” others, all for the sake of an international peeing contest (GDP). It creates segregation within our countries, as theirs remains unchanged, yet WE are slandered as “racist” if they commit acts, we define as crimes in our country!? Natural immigration is way better. People who enjoy a western country will be more likely to contribute… maybe. Except the unnamed few who think they should be the one ruler, pushing the boundaries of trade, trust & laws, using retaliation threats over lies of racism, again, preying on our kindness to gain control. It’s weak & lazy. I think that’s enough said on that.
