Megan, MO | Help the dolphins
Can you name some good dolphin books that I can find at the library or store?

DragonflyTV | Help the dolphins response
There are so many great books about Dolphins, you would be better off asking
your librarian. The librarian will know which books they have on dolphins.

Flelicity, AL | Dolphins chat
How do dolphins talk and communicate? What behaviour do they show?

DragonflyTV | Dolphins chat response
Dolphins seem to use sounds to communicate to each other. Scientists have spent a lot of time trying to understand how dolphins communicate. The scientists record the dolphins sounds, and look for behaviors that go with them. Read more at this website: http://www.dolphincommunicationproject.org/dcp.asp

Kylie, 10, OH | Dolphins & humans response
Why aren't dolphins scared of humans?????????????????????

DragonflyTV | Dolphins & humans response
Here's part of an interview with Hilary, one of the girls who investigated dolphin behavior on DragonflyTV: In human care, dolphins love people because they have many great encounters (like playing, swimming, getting food). However, in the wild, dolphins don't know people and it is dangerous for both people and dolphins to interact. It's harmful to the person because the dolphins don't know if you are a friend or an enemy. (plus, it is against the law) And, it is bad for the dolphins because they learn to beg for food and then can't take care of themselves or their children in their natural habitat. Go to the Washington Post Web site to view the full interview with Hilary.
