Mother's Day should not be limited to humans alone. Even animals take care of their youngs with the best they could.

♥♥ SeaWorld's "Blue Horizons" Dolphin Show (in HD)
I recorded this family video on November 4, 2010 at the Orlando, Florida SeaWorld with a Canon HV30. Tilikum is the subject of the documentary film Blackfish.

']]}High-seeking dolphins take puffer, pass it round
Dolphins are thought of as one of the most intelligent species in the animal kingdom - and experts believe they have put their ingenuity to use in the pursuit of getting "high".
In extraordinary scenes filmed for a new documentary, young dolphins were seen carefully manipulating a certain kind of puffer fish which, if provoked, releases a nerve toxin.

']]}SeaWorld Orlando returns bottlenose dolphin to lagoon after months of care
On Tuesday, SeaWorld rescuers returned to the wild what may be the sole survivor of a mysterious die-off that has killed at least 74 bottlenose dolphins in the Indian River Lagoon this year.
The male dolphin swam to freedom from Melbourne Causeway, after almost five months of care at SeaWorld Orlando, 140 pounds heavier than when biologists rescued him.

']]}SECRET DOLPHIN SPECIES reveals itself to stunned boffins
A previously unknown species of humpback dolphin has been blithely swimming the waters off northern Australia, according to boffins.
A research team made up of scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), the American Museum of Natural History and other groups set out to figure out the number of distinct types of humpback dolphins using physical features and genetic data.

']]}Dolphin calf born at Brookfield Zoo
Dolphin shows at Brookfield Zoo have been temporarily canceled to allow a male calf born Wednesday to bond with his mother.
The 40-pound calf was born to Tapeko and is about 3-1/2 feet long, according to a release from the zoo. Staff are “cautiously optimistic that the calf is healthy and doing well,” zoo spokesman Jamie Hansen said in an email.

']]}Marine Mammal: Bottlenose Dolphin
No surprise here: the bottlenose dolphin is typically thought of as the most intelligent non-human animal after the chimp and bonobo, and the more research we do, the more impressive dolphins become. They've been known to teach each other games and tricks, like walking on their tails or blowing bubble rings; they can use tools (dolphins off the coast of Australia learned to keep sponges over their noses to protect themselves from spiny but delicious urchins); they've been trained by the navy; they've been proven to understand at least some elements of the concept of numbers. However, it's difficult to measure the dolphin's intelligence due to its capabilities as a mimic. Is it learning, or copying? Who knows?

']]}Stunning hidden similarity found between bats, dolphins
t’s a small world after all—at least from an evolutionary standpoint. A new study from Queen Mary University of London and published in Nature has found that bats and dolphins, though virtually unrelated species, independently underwent the same evolutionary process to develop the highly specialized biological system echolocation.
“We had expected to find identical changes in maybe a dozen or so genes but to see [changes in] nearly 200 is incredible,” said lead author Joe Parker in a statement. “We know natural selection is a potent driver of gene sequence evolution, but identifying so many examples where it produces nearly identical results in the genetic sequences of totally unrelated animals is astonishing.”

']]}Dolphins Memorize Better than Elephants
A new discovery has come up with findings that Dolphins have a better memory than elephants. Dolphins have undoubtedly become the most popular species for online readers. Besides, biologists and scientists see human of the sea as the most exciting creatures to study.
The study has revealed that Dolphins have a great memory. It has been provided that Dolphins can remember distinctive whistle sounds from fellow Dolphins over two decades. The memory keeping period could be higher, as a matter of fact 20 years is as far as scientists have actually been able to study so far.

']]}Dolphins can recognize whistles from old tank mates from over 20 years ago, study finds
Dolphins have long impressed people with their sharp minds and humanlike traits, such as calling each other by name, goofing off and even understanding numbers. Now a scientist has found that the mammals can recognize an old friend’s whistle, even after they have been apart for 20 years — the longest social memory ever recorded for a non-human.
In a study released Tuesday, dolphins largely ignored calls from unfamiliar dolphins but responded when an old tank mate’s signature whistle was played back to them. It didn’t matter how much time had passed since the two had last seen each other or whether they had been tank mates for only a few months: The dolphins appeared to remember a familiar whistle.

']]}Researchers Find More Evidence That Dolphins Use Names
For decades, scientists have been fascinated by dolphins’ so-called signature whistles: distinctive vocal patterns learned early and used throughout life. The purpose of these whistles is a matter of debate, but new research shows that dolphins respond selectively to recorded versions of their personal signatures, much as a person might react to someone calling their name.
Combined with earlier findings, the results “present the first case of naming in mammals, providing a clear parallel between dolphin and human communication,” said biologist Stephanie King of Scotland’s University of St. Andrews, an author of the new study.

']]}Dolphin friendly Animals
Dolphin
Dolphins are one of the large sea mammals. Like most other sea animals dolphins are carnivores (meat eaters). Dolphins are intelligent and friendly animals, so some of them are trained by humans to serve as entertainment in the attractions at the circus or SeaWorld-like parks (also known as ‘dolphinaria’). While in the middle of the open sea, sometimes we see a pod of dolphins swim alongside a boat, jumping up and down to follow the boat’s wake, as if the dolphins are not afraid of humans. There are some stories we've ever heard of course about the people who were saved by dolphins at sea. Throughout history and legend, dolphins are portrayed as helpful and protective of people. Unfortunately, they are also considered as food—killed in harpoon drives like in Taiji, Japan and in the Faroe Islands.
