1. I want to come back as a dolphin

I read somewhere that they are among the earth's most efficient creatures - they spend about an hour a day getting food, and the remaining 23 are for swimming, sex, sleep, whatever.

Really enjoyed the video.

Swam with some once, and they're so much bigger than I expected, and funnier - not interested in playing "fetch" unless you ignored them, but if you did ignore them, they vied for your attention. Older now, I don't like the idea of coralling these beautiful smart creatures for human entertainment, and wouldn't contribute to people who did, but I'm glad I had the experience.

2. yeah, I've always admired dolphins

I have a secret 'theory' that they're smarter than we are, and actually made the decision to move back to the sea. They have larger brains that we do that are just as complex, and have a structured language and society.

1 hour catching food and 23 hours livin' life. That sounds okay to me. :woohoo:

I appreciate the comments. thanks! :hi:


just a note: these weren't corralled in any way. This is a wild family just hanging out in the back country.
