Some scientists who work with dolphins believe that these sea creatures have a sense of disability and physical trauma associated with function and pain in humans, therefore, it makes possible cranial-sacral therapy. Dolphins with their internal sonar or echo-location can feel that the person hurts most and is able to gently push and play without causing harm to a person.
Once two dolphins were rescued by the author when he sailed far from the coast of California. The man was a good swimmer, and swimming became his daily life. Once, far from the shore, he felt very tired, too tired to raise his hands or hit. Suddenly two dolphins came to his aid. They swam, touching his bodies, and they pushed him forward, holding their nose together with their hands, to keep him afloat, until they approached the shore where other people were. By this time, the writer had regained enough strength to swim a few more yards in safety. He says that the dolphins did not leave immediately. They continued to jump from the shore to make sure he made it safely.
Many accidents have been reported of dolphins saving people at sea. Some time ago, the news said that a dolphin pod defended a group of swimmers, protecting them around to fight off the attack of the great white shark. Swimmers were in training rescuers who swam a hundred yards from the coast. At first, men did not understand what a shark is. One of them swam away, but the dolphins returned to the circle. At that time, he saw a nine-foot shark two yards from him. Men spend about forty minutes in this circle before the dolphins allow them to swim back to shore. Since sharks are dolphins are great enemies, it is possible that they protected people as if swimmers were their own offspring.
There are many different types of dolphins. A friend is a species of Flipper, a bottlenose dolphin. One of the most endangered species in the world is the dolphin, called by many names, such as Badges; Pay With; Chinese river dolphin; Yangtze Dolphin; White dolphin; Whiteflag Dolphin. He inhabits the Yangtze River in China. It is said that these animals are very close to extinction, since there are only 5 left, whereas in 1984 there were 400 of them.
Dolphins, warm as men, are mammals, not fish, and they give birth to one child at a time, feeding their children up to four years. They live in social groups called pods and interact very closely with each other. These makeup pods can change, as dolphins from time to time interact with dolphins from other pods. A lonely dolphin who has lost friends at sea can easily be taken in by another container.
Dolphins have powerful tails that not only help control them in the water, but also signal irritation or danger. Like humans, dolphins love gestures when they interact with each other. To communicate, they use body language, or they whistle, and they circle each other with their fins, as if they are connected to each other. When they swim together like friends, they move in sync, jumping into and out of the water. When they get angry or aggressive, they open their mouth or clap their jaws hard.
Dolphins can dive to great depths, and also jump high above the water. Being mammals, they need to breathe, but, unlike humans, their breathing is voluntary. They breathe through the hole on the top of the head. It is possible that dolphins can drown. When this happens, other dolphins come to the aid of a drowning dolphin, supporting its body in such a way that its bubble remains above the water.
To sleep, dolphins have to cover only half of their brains, which probably means that they are always on their guard for danger. Dolphins also take short naps when they swim just below the surface. However, unlike people, their most active feeding time is night, although they spend a good amount of the day looking for food.
One of the best dolphin research centers located in Marathon Key, Florida. Here and in other dolphin centers around the world, a project is being carefully studied to help disabled children with dolphins, and therapy is based on the dolphin's natural desire to make contact with people. By interacting with dolphins, children with autism, Down syndrome, anorexia, depression, cancer and visual impairment showed positive results, calming down and showing a better sense of importance and self-confidence.
However, there are opposing views and theories. A 2003 report by the WDCS (Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society) and HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) states that the risk to dolphins outweighs the positive effects of their interaction with people in zoos with dolphins. Dolphins were obese from overnutrition by the public and prolonged exposure to humans, exposing animals to stress and injury. Also, it is reported that some children, even very few, regress in their development from pushing their families and from the fear of animals or water.
Given the positive use of contact between dolphins and humans, more research is needed, and attention to areas of caress for dolphins and more carefully observed hygiene and sanitation is in order, so that both species can continue to benefit from each other.
