Dolphin Stampede!

:  
Bottlenose Dolphin
Everyone loves dolphins, sure. Who wouldn't? They're graceful, playful creatures that swim beside boats and protect swimmers from sharks. They live in pods, potentially have some rudimentary culture and speak in those clicks and squeaks. Fascinating animals, ones that inspire almost everyone to become a marine biologist.


But they've been known to be nasty occasionally, and one took a lusty lunge at Demi Moore. What do you do when an army of dolphins decide to head straight at you in a mass migration?

Start shooting, pilgrim. Videotape, that is.



That must've been an incredible sight, and just a little intimidating. Why do dolphins leap out of the water like that? Are they showing off? Are they winking at the people in the boat? Or does it get boring down there in the ocean, holding your breath all the time?

Dolphins sleep by shutting down one-half of their brain at a time, since they still need to rise to the surface to breathe. That sounds exhausting...like their continually hungover on a Monday morning. When you hear about the Yangtse River dolphin, now most likely extinct, after being jarred by explosions, pollution, noise and fishing lines, you can't blame them for giving up.
