Subject: RE: BS: Dolphins and Humans: Partners
Has anyone been to/live in Dingle on the West Coast of Ireland? They've got a residant dolphin called Fungie - he stays in the bay and he follows the boats and plays with them. And apparently they don't feed him, and if any other dolphins come in he'll play with them but he won't go back out with them.
He's very cute - but I never realised dolphins were so big!

Quote from 'Hitchhiker' about dolphins:

"Human beings assume they are the most intelligent creatures on the planet becasue of their success in inventing skyscrapers, the wheel, wars etc - wheras all the dolphins have ever done is muck about in the water having a good time.
Dolphins assume they are the most intelligent creatures on the planet for exactly the same reasons!" -
brilliant!
