Wild Dolphin Encounter

Seaworld in australia have the largest lagoon in the world for their dolphins (A blocked off part of the ocean with real fish, a real tide, sand, seaweed etc.) They dont use tanks. I did a training program there and after watching The Cove I spoke to them and every dolphin they have has been rescued from a young age and it would be unlikely that they would survive on their own in the wild. Just sayin.

[PringlesFTW]

I had dolphin when I live Japan. Very tasty.

[LegoJKL]

@PringlesFTW Hilarious joke you got there. It it WAS TRUE, Then I would tell you to shoot yourself with a Desert Eagle.

[PringlesFTW]

@LegoJKL Dolphin taste like good kind chicken. Very rubber it is. But tasty at same time.

@MsREB89 Dolphins are acoustic creatures which means their primary sense is sound they use sound for everything, to find food, to communicate, etc. when they are in tanks their sound bounces back at them which would be like a person trapped in a room full of mirrors.And if you see the boxes where they put the fish that they feed to dolphins when they do tricks you'll see tht they have different color labels they add chemicals to the fish because dolphins are so stressed out.

Thank you so much for sharing this! This is so beautiful. I really wish people would just let them be like this, happy and free in their environment instead of brutally capturing them and taken to amusement parks or slaughtering them for their meat. They're such amazing creatures. I recently saw a very eye opening, award winning documentary on their capture called The Cove. I really wish more people would know about it and help to stop the capture of dolphins...

[MsREB89]

@LindseyxBlair They're not all bad. SeaWorld in Aus do a lot of rescues. I did a training program and the dolphin we swam with was found as a baby with no pod, staying around fishing boats for food. He was injured and covered in scars from the fishing gear and didn't know how to hunt on his own. If it wasn't for them he probably would've died. Their life expectancy goes up at the park, the enclosures are huge, there's endless food, entertainment and medication. They really love and care for them

[msxdolphinxlover]

@MsREB89 yes, they do rescues. but SeaWorld is the main reason why thousands of dolphins die in Taiji every year from September through March.They kill them in the most cruel ways. But some dolphins survive, because dolphin trainers are there to catch the better looking ones before all the killing begins. then they sell them to SeaWorld and other Aquariums around the world and thats how they get their dolphins. Its a multi-billion-dollar industry.

[LindseyxBlair]

@PringlesFTW You're a moron. Dolphins are reported to swim up to 40 km/hr, meaning they can travel up to 128 km/day. So take that and compare it to swimming at speeds of about 8 km/hr in a confined pool in captivity. It's a known fact that a dolphin lives about 45-50 years in the wild, but over half die in captivity the first 2 years due to stress, disease and pollution in their tanks. Go do some research before you type something that makes you look like a complete idiot...lol.

[msxdolphinxlover]

@PringlesFTW then why the fuck are you commenting on a fucking dolphin video? what the hell, you're so ignorant. @LindseyxBlair is right, get your facts right before youmake yourself look like a complete idiot.

This is amazing!

VERY COOL!

[fieldhockeyislove93]

omg that is a gorgeous view. I would love to see wild dolphins. They don't belong at sea world. they belong in the wild where they are free :D

[glovisy]

@fieldhockeyislove93 's comment was 6 months ago, so it's hardly worth the bother, but here goes: They belong in both. Sorry I'm just tired of seeing "Sea World is Evil!!" comments on all these dolphin videos I'm watching. Dolphins enjoy themselves either way. Curious animals, they're some of the few that actually like being around people.

[LindseyxBlair]

@glovisy You really need to watch The Cove, it will open your very closed eyes....if you're too picky to spend any money on it, at least youtube videos that have clips of the documentary. Dolphins don't enjoy being in captivity...even with veterinary care and being fed, dolphins die 8-10 years sooner than they do in the wild believe it or not. On average a free dolphin swims 60-120 miles a day in the ocean...you really think being a confined pool makes them happy?

[deviousgirlchild]

that looked gorgeous, i've never seen water really clear and blue like that, or wild dolphins

[tierren]

ITS FLIPPER !

[llnnss]

Whats this song called? and by who?

Thnksss :)

[nescubagal]

Both songs are by Sting, When We Dance and How Fragile We Are

[bubbleonthebeach]

wow- look at the water- you can slearly see the bottom....the dolphins are amazing.... :)

[giannaluva65]

@bubbleonthebeach yea its not really safe to go swimming in open ocean that has no bottom lol

[DamarisAz]

beautiful!

[echoskybound]

Wow.. one member from each pod is missing big chunks of their pectoral fin. Hopefully those weren't results of human activity.

[Greenteam83]

Could be from any number of carnivorous creatures living in the sea, or from accidents involving coral or sharp rocks. Believe it or not, humans aren't the only destructive forces on the planet. ;)

[jeexbit]

incredible...amazing...beautif­ul!

[zeebop50]

i love dolphins, i believe that they are one of the most majestic creatures in the world <3

e video is awesome! it makes me want more to be with dolphins! they are my relatives in my past life!

dolphins rocks!

[cwbenefield]

Beautiful video. I get to swim with wild dolphins everyday, when the waters warm. Panama City Fl. They don't hang around very long because we don't feed them. Still awesome to be in the water with them. Maybe I'll have a chance to meet a pod. PS. Water can be as clear in fl on a good day.

[kiyokobelanio]

thats good that you dont feed them. its illegal.

[FloridianSS]

I get to do this every day at my job. God I love working in miami :)

[pmeflip]

what do you do and how can i get that job? I've always wanted to work closely with dolphins

[FloridianSS]

I'm the first officer on a charter boat out of the bayside marina in downtown miami, they recognize our boat and come and play around us when we are out sailing, or even in the marina sometimes manatees come and hang out with us.

[pmeflip]

can i email you with some questions? i was wondering how to go about becoming part of a business like that. i live in central florida for my schoolin years, but on graduation day you'll find me on the coast where i belong... peace

[giannaluva65]

@FloridianSS i work in miami, but where can i go to swim wth dolphins? it is my dream

[jeexbit]

close encounters of the 4th kind

[microchunktv]

Wow, really cool stuff. It's amazing how clear the water is there.

[tom211221]

Love the video!!!

[rosiejo00]

I love this!

[reefgazer]

This is fantastic footage of our surreal encounter with the dolphins. You did a great job considering the difficulty of keeping up with them and the excitement of the whole event. Thanks for helping to preserve this special moment forever!
