Just cos something looks to be smiling at you.............

There are at least indications that some of the Moray Firth behaviour is partly caused by human over-fishing.

I don't want to rain on any one's parade but it looks pretty obvious that animal behaviour is at least as complicated and mysterious as human behaviour is - if not even more so.

Captive dolphin displays are very popular in Japan. Some villages there still have drive hunts in which thousands of dolphins are drowned battered to death for food. Many Japanese people do no seem see any problem with both and delighting in watching them perform and eating them.
