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.

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.
