Tool-use behavior has most commonly been assessed in land-based animals, and is rarely seen in aquatic life. [6] This is not necessarily due to a lack of ability, but rather a lack of need. For example, even though dolphins have larger brains compared to primates and could thus be expected to engage in more tool-use foraging behavior, they have ...
The computer aims to create synthesized dolphin sounds that can be established between sound and object. The object is to enable dolphins to imitate the sound in order to make requests from people. [4] In the field of dolphin intelligence and communication, Herzing has recorded observations of dolphins expressing teaching behaviors. [5]

The Navy gets some of its dolphins from the Gulf of Mexico. Military dolphins were used by the U.S. Navy during the First and Second Gulf Wars, [11] and their use dates back to the Vietnam War. [12] About 75 dolphins were in the program circa 2007, [13] and around 70 dolphins and 30 sea lions were reported to be in the program in 2019. [12]
Dolphins must clear out lots of cap space to fill needs
The origins of the program date back to 1960, when a Pacific white-sided dolphin was acquired for hydrodynamic studies seeking to improve torpedo performance. [1] The aim was to determine whether dolphins had a sophisticated drag-reduction system, but the technology of the day failed to demonstrate that dolphins have any unusual capabilities in this respect.
A dolphin was captured on camera urinating into the air as another dolphin swims nearby in a rare occurrence that has left researchers and viewers bewildered.
