"As soon as they saw their trainers in the boat, they started jumping as high as they could out of the water in relief at being rescued."

There is that. But there is a lot of reasons to believe that dolphins are like dogs, humans have shared a lot of their evolution with them to have a special relationship. Again, it is very likely that humans spent a significant portion of their evolution on the coast. If so, they probably couldn't have avoided dolphins and forged a co-evolutionary bond. That was later transferred to wolf derivatives, but the dolphins never forgot...


You've said that before.........I wonder if that's true........and that they never forgot. What's interesting too is their shape......its very pleasing and non threatening to the human eye even though their nose can be deadly and could probably kill a human in minutes.

I find that same thing with wolves. A wolf could tear up a man in minutes and yet I do not find their appearance threatening. In fact, the breeds of dogs that look most wolflike I find most interesting.

Strange to consider that their evolutionary path may have 'designed' them to look appealing to the dominant species in order to insure their survival.
