After reading the article on the BBC news website, about dolphins tail-walking, the familiar Simpsons episode “Treehouse of Horror XI” immediately came to mind. Do we really have to worry about dolphins taking over our world? It’s not at the top of my worry list, but we shouldn’t dismiss their incredible ability to learn, form their own cultures/gangs and communicate. A dolphin’s story that was quick to get my eyes a little moist, is how Moko saves the stuck whales in New Zealand. They’re a bit like humans with their prejudices, they will save some whales and yet gang up on porpoises, killing them. I have one more favorite dolphin story, where a human is saved by a pod of dolphins
