This podcast is intentionally short and sweet, so don't expect too much from the notes. We will, of course, share links and details of things discussed in individual episodes as appropriate - and that's about it. The main thing to know is every episode of this show starts with a one-word suggestion, and there's no reason the next one couldn’t come from you.As long as its not "dildo."
Transcript:
Dolphins are widely agreed to be one of the most intelligent species on the planet. Anyone who's seen the TV show "Flipper" knows that their level of individual intellect - and sense of humor - is high.
They have been known to save the lives of other animals and stranded swimmers, they know how to use shells and sea sponges as tools, and they've even run secret missions for the US Navy.
But part of what makes dolphins so super smart is they almost always choose to hang out in pods. Like experienced improvisers, they understand that together they have a better chance of thriving and surviving.
By having each other's backs (or dorsal fins as the case may be) and supporting each other in their own undersea world.
As a group, they can find more fish, warn each other about predators in nearby waters, and when necessary, find safe harbor.
Most of the time when we see dolphins they're surfing waves with glee. Or enjoying a feeding frenzy amongst a pool of less fortunate fish. Or showing strong leadership skills at the bow of a boat.
Despite the ever-increasing number of threats to their existence like plastics, petroleum, JetSkis, ghost nets, and hungry sharks, they continually play to the top of their intelligence.
Above the sea, we humans have our own challenges.
