- Because they aren't the nice and docile creatures we think they are.
What do you know about dolphins? Most people think they’re cute and sweet but these facts will tell you differently!
- Dolphins may try groping humans and in recorded cases they have touched
humans inappropriately. - Dolphins hunt for food and for “fun.” They hunt in pairs usually and find new ways to hunt their prey. They really like to hunt, just like humans who hunt for the game of it.
- They are naughty little creatures and they like to get high as well. They do this by grabbing hold of a puffer fish and then letting it go, allowing the effects of the toxins to be released. (Puffer fish toxin in lower doses acts like a drug so they do it purposely.)
- Dolphins attack and kill for fun. They kill baby porpoises, adult porpoises and
other animals, and a lot of times it’s just “for fun” or because they can. They have also been seen picking on smaller animals for no reason. - We’re pretty sure you didn’t learn this in school, did you now? They are known to transfer all sorts of “goodies” to their partners.
- Because of the way a their brain is formed into two halves, one half of their brain can be asleep while the other half is awake!? Even during this time, they are seemingly ok and have plenty of stamina.
- Dolphins are one animal that’s known to kill for fun. Did you know this about dolphins?
- It won’t surprise you seeing as how aggressive males are to hear that they’ve been seen forcing female to mate and ganging up on them. Males may even hit and harm females when they’re trying to mate.
- Dolphins like to have a lot of sex, so much so that they’ve been seen inserting their sexual organs inside other dolphins’ blowholes!
- They have their own personal whistle that others can recognize.
- They have a lot of STDs and transfer them to their partners. This has got to be the most gross fact about dolphins!
- They have been seen killing baby porpoises. Apparently they do this because the baby porpoises resemble baby dolphins and sometimes male dolphins will mix them up. They sometimes think they’re their own kids but since male dolphins often kill their own children, well, you know the rest.
- They have been known to go on killing sprees, attacking porpoises, when they’re sexually frustrated. It’s the young ones that will attack, ramming the porpoises until they’re dead. If that’s not bad enough, some dolphins are seen playing with the corpses of the porpoises that they kill.
