Dolphins: Close Encounters
Dolphins  have always had a lot of admirers, and it's not difficult to see why. They have a nice smile, they're highly intelligent, and they're natural entertainers. Heck, most people can't boast that. This site from PBS explores the mammal's history and language. Visitors will not only learn the reasons behind the dolphin's tendency to help people in trouble, but also discover the secrets of the distinctive dolphin squeak -- a language that allows them to communicate and coordinate their movements deep in the ocean. The site goes on to ask tough questions about the ethics of using dolphins for our entertainment and explores the relationship we have with captive dolphins. Are they our partners or our prisoners? Take a hard look and decide for yourself. (in Animals, Insects, and Pets) |
