- For centuries, the Imraguen tribe has depended on dolphins to push migrating mullet into their nets. With ancient rituals, they call to the dolphins by simulating the sound of leaping fish slapping the water. Finally the dolphins come, driving the mullet before them. Perhaps the dolphins are using the fishermen to gather a feast for themselves, in a spectacular display of interspecies cooperation. Human and dolphin share a Water Planet and its resources.

- Depuis des siècles, la tribu des Imraguens compte sur les dauphins pour pousser dans leurs filets les bancs de mulets. A l'aide d'anciens rituels, ils les appellent en tapant dans l'eau pour simuler le bruit généré par le saut d'un poisson. Ceci fait finalement venir les dauphins qui poussent les mulets devant eux. Mais il est possible que les dauphins comptent aussi sur les pêcheurs pour leur organiser ce festin, dans un jeu spectaculaire de coopération entre les espèces. L'homme et le dauphin partagent la planète bleue et ses ressources.

  • The last part shows not a trainer and dolphin - the dolphin depicted at the end is an ex-USN dolphin, trained and subsequently released into the wild. The Dolphin swam into that person's private harbor and stayed there, refusing to leave into the blue ocean- the old woman tried many times to entice it out of the shallows but ihe dolphin preferred not too, probably due to its long periods in captivity in the US Navy. Its shown at the end of the Cousteau documentary, "The Warm Blooded Sea"

  • J'ai la cassette de ce reportage. Un grand Homme, M. Cousteau. Ils nous manque à tous.

  • @LadyLillianContessa Sharks are mysterious, strongest, intriguing, noble, and they maintain ocean's ecosystem because without them there is no more fish, dolphins are FAGS, GAYS animals i hate their ugly face and you have to know that they are surely more cruel than sharks if you see somethings like three dolphins attacking and killing whales, swordfishes etc... just for fun, shark don't do it for fun lady,
