Dolphins are small cetaceans with nearly 62 species, which are distributed in the oceans of the world and mainly feed on small fish, squid, shrimp and crab. Dolphin is a marine mammal with superior ability and intelligence.
First of all, it represents maternal love and friendliness.
Care for young people, desperate people.
If the mother dolphin is born prematurely, in order to make the baby dolphin unable to breathe, she will try her best to push the baby dolphin to the surface with a kiss, repeat these actions and even stop foraging for two days.
According to people in the aquarium, once the baby dolphin dies, the mother dolphin will try her best to bring it back to life, but if it lasts too long, the mother dolphin may also die of fatigue. Therefore, the calf's body must be salvaged as soon as possible. Perhaps this can prevent the mother dolphin from being too sad and restore her strength. However, it is not easy for the staff to remove the dead dolphins. Mother dolphins will protect dolphins from ships and compete with staff for endurance.
Does the mother dolphin know that the baby dolphin is dead? Or do you desperately want to push the dolphins to the surface because you feel sorry for them? Or is it just animal instinct? Perhaps dolphins do have some rationality that humans can't understand, and the details are still unclear.
Help similar victims
In ancient Greece, there was a story about dolphins rescuing drowning people: On one occasion, Aleon, a famous Greek lyric poet and musician, participated in a music competition organized by a wealthy Italian businessman and won a huge prize. He returned to Corinth, Greece by boat with this wealth, but on the way, the crew were jealous of him and wanted to kill him. Before he died, he asked to play another song. The wonderful music attracted a large group of dolphins. Aleon jumped into the sea, and the dolphin carried him on his back and swam to a safe place, so Aleon escaped. This story shows that the relationship between humans and dolphins was quite good in ancient times. So what is the situation between dolphins and dolphins?
1in June, 1994, when the researchers conducted an ecological survey of dolphins in the Pacific Ocean, they observed that a dolphin was hit by a harpoon and was in a coma. Not far away, another dolphin swam over and pushed the injured species to the surface. Its sound seemed to awaken the injured dolphin in a coma.
Be able to distinguish between friends and enemies
When investigating wild dolphins, researchers found that dolphins were usually reluctant to approach people at first, and seemed to be aware of the existence of strange objects. However, when they realize that humans have no intention, the vigilance of dolphins gradually declines, and they can even reach a distance. They will shake their heads and observe people. As long as one of them approaches people inadvertently, the other dolphins will swim slowly.
Near Chaco Bay in southern Italy, more than ten Atlantic bottlenose dolphins swim to the beach every day. These dolphins don't seem to mind human harassment. They are used to the food and bait given to them by human hands. Therefore, even wild dolphins will live in harmony with human beings if given the right opportunities.
But human beings have to get rid of the prejudice of "the spirit of everything" and stay in the world of dolphins. Find other ways to communicate with dolphins.
In Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, there is a unique dolphin monument which reads "Jack the Genius Navigator".
/kloc-one day in 0/888, the sailboat "burini" passed through Cork Strait, New Zealand, and was trapped in the "gap of death" all day because of the sudden change of weather. It was about to be destroyed, and the desperate captain made a weak cross on his chest. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a big silver-gray dolphin jumped out of the stormy waves, looking back and forward from time to time, as if to say, "Please rest assured, my friend, I know how to go out and get rid of death." The captain seemed to see the lighthouse during the night flight and ordered to follow the dolphins without thinking. The great dolphins finally led burini people out of the land of terror.
Since then, miracles have appeared. This silver-gray dolphin has been wandering around the strait, leading the passing ships year after year. Whenever a boat comes, it always jumps out of the water, shakes its tail fin to welcome it, and then bypasses the reef, hides from the turbulence and lets the boat out of danger. The crew affectionately called it "Jack".
19 12 years, Jack ended his 24-year career as a volunteer pilot and passed away quietly. With the echo of the local people, the diver found its body and covered it with the national flag. Then they held a funeral for it and later carved a bronze statue for it.
Saving lives has a long history.
1949, the wife of a lawyer in Florida, USA, disclosed her strange experience of being rescued from drowning at sea in Natural History magazine: when she was swimming at a beach, she suddenly fell into an underwater undercurrent, and rows of turbulent waves came at her. Just when she was about to go into a coma, a dolphin swam quickly, gave her a sharp push with its sharp beak, and then pushed her several times until she was pushed into shallow water. After waking up, the woman looked around to see who saved herself. However, there is no one on the beach, only a dolphin is playing in the water not far from the shore. In recent years, there are more and more similar reports, which shows that dolphins were never invented by people.
Dolphins will not only push drowning people to the shore, but also come forward to rescue sharks when they eat people. 1959 in the summer, the passenger ship "Rio Arteiro" crashed in the Caribbean, and many passengers struggled in the rough sea. Unexpectedly, it never rains but it pours. A large group of sharks came around and everyone would be buried in the belly of the fish. At this critical moment, groups of dolphins suddenly appeared like "magic soldiers descending from heaven", pouncing on greedy sharks, driving away demons in the sea and turning passengers in distress into safety.
Rescue behavior is instinctive.
Dolphins are always an animal that helps people in trouble. When people are in danger in water, they often get its help. Dolphins have also won the reputation of "lifeguards at sea", and many countries have promulgated laws and regulations to protect dolphins. So why do dolphins save people? Before people fully understood dolphins, they were always thought to be sent by God to protect human beings. Due to the progress of science, the understanding of dolphins is further deepened, and its mystery is gradually uncovered.
Zoologists have found that dolphins are not limited to humans. They will rescue their sick companions.
During the period of 1959, American zoologist De Herb Nale and others saw two dolphins swimming towards a dolphin injured by explosives, trying to rescue their companions. Dolphins also help newborn dolphins, and sometimes they seem blind. In an ocean park, a little dolphin died at birth, but it was pushed out of the water by its mother. In fact, almost all objects that do not actively move in the water will attract the attention and great enthusiasm of dolphins and become their "rescue" objects. Some people have done many experiments, and the results show that dolphins will do the same thing to anything floating in front of them, whether it is a dead turtle, an old air cushion, a lifebuoy or a wooden board. 1955, a dolphin rescued its old enemy, a young tiger shark, which was 1.5 meters long, and lifted it out of the water for eight consecutive days. As a result, this unlucky little dolphin finally lost its life.
Accordingly, marine zoologists believe that the life-saving virtue of dolphins comes from their "caring nature" for children. It turns out that dolphins are mammals that breathe with their lungs. They can dive into the water when swimming, but they have to put their heads out of the sea to breathe every once in a while, otherwise they will suffocate. Therefore, for newborn dolphins, the most important thing is to reach the surface as soon as possible, but if there is an accident, the dolphin mother's care behavior will happen. She gently lifts the dolphin with her beak, or holds the pectoral fin of the dolphin with her teeth to make it surface until the dolphin can breathe on its own. This caring behavior is the instinctive behavior of dolphins and all whales. This instinct is formed in the process of long-term natural selection, which is very necessary for protecting the same kind and continuing the race. Because this behavior is independent of the object, once the dolphin meets the drowning person and mistakenly thinks it is a floating object, it will also have the same push-pull reaction, thus saving people. In other words, it is a coincidence that the inherent behavior of dolphins coincides with the exciting phenomenon of "saving people".
A wise man in the ocean, a friend of mankind.
Some scientists believe that it is a simplification to attribute the rescue behavior of dolphins to an animal instinct, and its root is to underestimate the wisdom of animals. Oceanographers believe that dolphins have the same learning ability as humans, even slightly better than chimpanzees, and are known as "wise men" in the ocean. Studies show that dolphins are far superior to chimpanzees in both absolute and relative brain weight, and learning ability is closely related to intellectual development. Some people think that dolphins have larger brain capacity than chimpanzees and are obviously animals with high IQ and thinking ability. Its "feat" of saving people is completely a conscious act. Because in most cases, dolphins will push people to the shore, not the sea. At the beginning of the 20th century, near the Atlantic Ocean in Mauritania, there was a poor fishing village, El Mahara. Dolphins in the Atlantic seem to know that people are suffering from hunger, and often drive a large number of fish from the high seas to the port to help fishermen cast nets to catch fish. In addition, anecdotes similar to dolphins helping people fish have also been reported in Australia, Myanmar, South America and other places.
What is the reason why dolphins are so single-minded to humans? In front of sharks, dolphins are crazy killing gods. It is easy to attack humans, but there is no record of dolphins hurting people. The most incomprehensible thing is that even if someone kills a dolphin, the other dolphins present just stand by and never answer blows with blows. For dolphins with strong cooperative spirit, this kind of performance really puzzles zoologists.
Second, smart and human.
There is also a "name"
According to a report by Russian News Network on May 24th, scientists from the University of St Andrews in the United States recently concluded that every dolphin in a social state has its own name, and dolphins in the same group can also distinguish each other's "surnames".
The scientists chose the research site on the Florida coast. During the research, experts recorded and analyzed the sounds made by social dolphins. After that, they separated all the sound signals that can indicate the identity of a specific dolphin, and only kept the frequency characteristics of these sounds.
It is reported that by comparing with the sounds made by people, researchers have separated stress and other characteristics related to "dialogue" from the sounds made by dolphins. During the experiment, the researchers divided the dolphins in the same group into two groups and extracted the sounds made by one group. Later, by playing these sounds to another group of dolphins, people were surprised to find that they actually responded positively to the voices of their "relatives".
Vincent Janick, a scientist who participated in the research, said: "We recorded some dolphin calls in the dry season and input them into the computer to synthesize similar sounds artificially. After that, we played these recordings to the dolphins and observed their reactions. The results show that dolphins can completely tell who made these sounds. "
Based on these observations, scientists have come to the conclusion that dolphins not only have their own names, but also can distinguish their companions according to these names, rather than relying solely on sound. Janick pointed out: "Now we know that dolphins actually have their own names just like us."
Scientists believe that this identification method is very necessary for dolphins-because underwater sounds are easily distorted, and companions can only be identified through more complex sound combinations.
It is reported that 9 of the 14 dolphins who participated in the experiment responded to the "names" of their relatives. However, scientists still don't know why the other five dolphins didn't make any corresponding movements. Maybe they don't want to see their relatives.
Janick said that this discovery is significant because it shows that dolphins have some behaviors similar to ours.
Third, it symbolizes love.
We often see dolphin ornaments. Is that because in Greece, dolphins are symbols of love? Is the patron saint of love .
Long time ago? The son of God violated the taboo of the sacred world and fell in love with the girl in the mortal world. I didn't see that the two of them couldn't find a place to live all over the world. Only the fairy queen, who lives in the deepest part of the forest, sympathized with their situation and gave the couple a pair of spiritual bronze rings to protect them from crossing the sea safely? However, the jealous God discovered the secret of the copper ring, took it away and threw it into the sea, so the lover who lost the protection of the copper ring was washed away by the big waves? Even so, they searched for each other's figure wholeheartedly until the last moment, when the dawn came and it was about to go up in smoke? This love touched the kind blue dolphin? Jumped out of the sea at dawn with a bronze ring in his hand? Let two lovers have the blessing of the fairy queen again and be together forever? At the moment when the first ray of sunshine came to the white sand beach, the whole beach suddenly turned into a happy pink? And blue.
Dolphins have since become the patron saint of love? . Legend has it that as long as you sincerely pray for the Dolphin Bay, the expected love will come true, and the first object of confession in front of dolphins is the destined lover? .
Dolphin bronze rings can better protect lovers until the end of their lives.
Fourth, sound is synonymous with beautiful sound.
Dolphin sound is a scientific term in vocal music, which is the same as pharyngeal tube sound, posterior sound, chest sound and head sound. Dolphin sound is a very vivid rhetoric. It is said that dolphins can emit high-frequency ultrasonic waves with various wavelengths from 2000 Hz to 65438+ million Hz. This kind of ultra-high frequency sound wave is difficult for human beings to come out. Therefore, some people use dolphin sound to describe the ultra-high pitch, which means "extremely high audio and high pitch", which is a bit like snowflakes, but it does not really reach the high-frequency sound waves like dolphins. However, the starting point of dolphin sound is very high. Generally speaking, Mariah Carey's dolphin sound begins at around C7, so the dolphin sound is different from the human pronunciation defined by physiology and physics in pitch, and its pitch is also different from that of ordinary people.
