Dolphins are small whales with teeth. People usually refer to toothed whales with a body length of about 3 meters as dolphins. There are many types of dolphins. There are more than ten types of dolphins commonly found in my country's waters, including finless porpoise, true dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, Chinese white dolphin, and striped dolphin. Dolphins have played a major role in many fables since ancient times. In modern times, it has become an important research object for many scientists, a powerful assistant for marine workers, and an important resource for the aquaculture industry. What kind of animal is a dolphin? There are many stories about dolphins saving people. In modern times, this kind of story still appears frequently.
How to explain this behavior of dolphins?
Scientists speculate that this may be its instinct. Dolphins like to play and often push floating objects on the sea surface to play. Therefore, when a dolphin encounters a drowning person, it may mistake it for a floating object, instinctively lift it up, and push it to the shore, thereby saving the person. Dolphins are indeed gentle animals that are friendly to people and like to make friends with people even under natural conditions. It is particularly docile and loves to play with swimmers. People used to say that monkeys are the most intelligent animals in the animal kingdom. But it turns out that dolphins are smarter than monkeys. Monkeys can learn some skills after hundreds of trainings, while dolphins can learn them only twenty times.
If you measure the intelligence of animals by the percentage of their brains relative to their body weight, then dolphins are second only to humans, and monkeys rank third. After being trained, dolphins can not only perform various skills, such as heading balls, drilling through fire hoops... but also, with special human training, they can act as human assistants, wearing grabbers and diving to salvage items that have sunk to the bottom of the sea. , such as experimental rockets, missiles, etc., or transmit information and tools to personnel engaged in underwater operations, and can also conduct military reconnaissance, and even serve as a "death squad", carrying explosives and warheads to attack enemy ships or blow up enemy ships.
