Dolphins: friends or fiends?

Asked by ratboy (15172points) October 22nd, 2009

Dolphins are frequently portrayed as intelligent, playful and beneficent creatures. Flutherites, in particular, would be well advised to observe the darker side of these frisky mammals.

I have a personal vendetta against dolphins . . .I for some reason think they are very pompous animals.

What can I say? They are extremely intelligent.

I think they’re insanely smart, friendly, and playful. I’ve seen videos of this bubble ring thing they play with. Plus, they have sex for fun. Cool.

@live_rose Any relation to the pompous porpoises I’ve met?

@Allie they are possibly related to the pompous porpoises you’re privy to

If they hail from miami then i am their sworn enemy. Other than that… i had an awesome time swiming with dolfins at Sea World here in San Diego. Smart and playful creatures.(The ones from miami are evil though).

They also went in the opposite direction. The evolved from land creatures to sea based animals. There are fresh water dolphins in the main river in India and the Amazon.

They are neither friend nor fiend, they are merely a wild animal that has evolved certain behaviors.

And, they taste like tuna.

Both. They are not always friendly.

In order for the dolphin to be your friend.
It would have to have the intent to do so.

Friendship is a human behavior. As is being a fiend.

Dolphins are just being dolphins.

As the saying goes, just make sure you do not end up grabbing the sharp end of the knife.
