Speaker 1 (00:00):
But here in this four o'clock hour, I have Scott
where he's with me and Scott, I, uh, I wanted
your opinion on a study that I found here. Now
this is from a few years ago, so I just discovered.
This is a new discovery for me. But this isn't
like breaking information out there right now. Do you like dolphins?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Miami Dolphins. I was a big Dan Marino fan when
I was a kid, and he used to throw to
Mark Clayton number eighty three, and for some reason I
always preferred him over Mark Duper number eighty two, The
Marx Brothers. Is that what you're Why are you staring
at me that?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
That's a I mean why I like dolphins like the
anime marine mammal. Yeah, I sure. I live in Nebraska.
I don't come into contact with a lot of dolphins.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Have you seen a dolphin like I've gone to like
SeaWorld or something and see them like doing their jumps
and flips and stuff. They're pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I feel like I should say yes, but nothing is like.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
A bottlenosed dolphin has to be one of the most
intelligent animals in the world. Like that that Those guys
are crazy and like how smart they are and they
can be.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
One of them was my uber driver the other day.
These guys, they're they're expanding what they're able to do.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
They don't have a posable thumb, so let's not get
let's not get too crazy here. Also, they do breathe there,
so it's not that crazy. Although they much prefer to being.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Water, so bottlenose dolphins can. I'm going somewhere with this.
I know they just I.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Love the idea. Do you like dolphins?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
And no?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I hate dolphins. I hate dolphins and volleyball? Oh yeah,
like any of it?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, I bet you don't, Grandpa anyway, dolphins. Yeah, do
you know that there was a study done that they
recognize each other through taste?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, let me tell you how how we learned about
that study?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Do you already know this? Do you know the city
I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But no, but I'm just guessing. I believe the comedian
is Jim No Brian Reagan, the comedians Brian Reagan. Okay,
he comes in. He says, oh, hey, Danny asked me
to tell us. Yeah, what was that study about? Danny.
Danny's like, yeah, the whales can talk to each other. Thanks, Danny,
you know, like, how in the world do you have
(02:20):
any idea? So now he comes back here. Dolphins can
identify each other by taste.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
No one's even gonna bother to ask how in the
world you would know that, because no answer is gonna
satisfy either of us. But thanks a lot for stopping
by letting us know.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I actually have good answers here. I doubt it. Oh
you're gonna you're gonna believe.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
This, all right, So so taste right, So, dolphins make
a noise, right, like a good dolphin noises, you know,
you call it maybe a whistle like you know, you know,
stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
They're they're unique.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That was I thought I was talking to a dolphin.
I've been working on that.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
So they are.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
They make they make specific noises, but some of those
noises are pretty alike from other noises they may hear.
So they're trying in the water to identify parts of
their pod or different dolphins they may have already been
in contact with. Now, when you can only make a
certain number of whistle type noises, you can maybe get
(03:23):
confused pretty easily about whom you're hearing in the distance.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So you know, what they do instead to each other.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
They to just further dictate, Okay, this is the individual
I'm looking for. They will swim through a plume of
excretion or as you know humans would call it in
the non scientific world pete, and the taste of that
(03:54):
plume of excretion will indicate specifically the individual dolphin in
which the bottlenose dolphin in question is looking to identify.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yep, that's Connor and he had asparagus.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Now the way they know this, okay.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
This was a research project that was done and published
in Science Advances by researchers at Steven F. Austin State
University in Texas and the University of Saint Andrews in Scotland.
They work together on this and they found these dolphins
that they were able to work with. There are trained
dolphins that you can experiment on this stuff with, because
when they're in the water, what do they do?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Go to the bathroom? You know. They gathered.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Some of the excretion, if you will, and had a
bottlenose dolphin. They played the sound of an individual's whistle
and then poured the excretion into the water to see
what the dolphin would do. And the dolphin immediately would
go through the plume of excretion to gather more information
(05:00):
on the individual. And they essentially equate this to how
because they don't have an olfactory bul they can't actually smell,
they have to use a sense of taste. They equate
this to basically what a dog does when it stops
and sniffs a fire, hydront or a tree. Like all
that information is just going in there and they're figuring
out who was here before and then can deduce, oh,
(05:20):
I know this dog, or I have been in contact
with this agar. I need to show dominance over this
dog that I'm smelling right here, Like a community bulletin board.
It's not that different than that. It's just a little
bit weirder because you know they're tasting it instead.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's that's terrific. How we doing on pediatric brain cancer research?
How we doing on everyone getting a jet pack? You know, like,
where's someone if they did a study is because someone
gave them money or they raised money decided this is
what we're gonna do with this money. And we're gonna
work with people over there in Scotland who are doing
the same, Like what do they find each other online?
(05:58):
Just like typing in don'tlphin excretions. And then they found
someone like, yeah, we're working on the study. You're working
on the study. We're working on this study. It's like
it's the talk of Scotland is the dolphin extresion. Let's
work together on this. Yeah, we can pool all of
our resources in money and we can figure out all
this stuff. So my life is different now it's changed.
(06:21):
Who needs a cancer cure? Hey, I'm just dolphins doing I'm.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Telling you, science is incredible and that's this is this
is study. So what they did was the.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Collectility for them to waste grant money is astounding. I
never ceased to be amazed.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
They collected samples from dolphins and lagoons in Bermuda and Hawaii.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
They had been trained to give.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
These dolphins are being trained to give their samples if
you will, of excrement.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Uh, for their own health.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You go to the zoo, you'll see like training and
stuff with the animals. It's done, yes, for stimulation for
the animal, but also they feel like they're a part
of their own healthcare. So they'll like present like a
sea lion will present a flipper that way, you know,
and they'll get rewarded for that, but it allows the
human to kind of take a look and make sure
that they're not injured in their flipper or something like that.
(07:13):
Specific dolphins in Bermuda and Hawaii had been trained for
health assessments to give their sample, if you will. They
put some of the excrement into a cup on the
end of a long pole, and they noticed that the
dolphins that they were doing the study with would react
differently if they were familiar with that particular dolphins excrement
(07:34):
than a new dolphins excrement they did not know. And
that's how they said, oh, there has to be some
sort of recognition phase with them swimming through these plumes
of excrement. It's pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
The thing that gets me is someone had to ask
for the money to do the study. You had to
go into either to a person in his office or
a group of people, and you say, all right, here's
here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna Everyone likes dolphin, right, yeah,
we love dolphins. I like Dan Marino a funny joke, idiot,
So you know everyone likes dolphins. Here's what we're gonna do.
(08:06):
We're gonna grab some dolphins We're gonna make them whiz
on each other. These dolphins are gonna hose each other down,
and we're gonna watch them. They're like, hey, say no more,
how much do you need? You know what, here's a
blank check. Let us know it turns out. Make sure
and film it because that's not weird. I know this
is weird. Oh anyway, if I do this with homeless people,
(08:27):
I go to jail.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, for a lot of different reasons. I think you'd
have some company in jail.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Two.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Hey, I know the taste of that guy as old Roy.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Anyway, if you want to learn more.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
About this type of excretion study, they are seeing if
this would expand to other species.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
For whatever it's.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Worth, online at dolphin Pans.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
National Geographic had a big thing and a couple of
years ago about all this, and you can find the
whole study and Science Advances from the spring of twenty
twenty two. Was then this originally study was published, So
congrats to those who wanted to know.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Now, how am I just now hearing about this just
three and a half years old, I'm just now hearing
about this.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, sorry about that. I relate to the game anyway.
It's four to forty nine. We got more coming up
on these radio eleven teen KFAP
