Ocean Giants, 2011
Dolphins and whales may appear to be totally alien to us. But with their mental ability, group communication and the discovery that dolphins have individual names, they are closer to us than we ever imagined. Ace underwater cameramen Doug Allan and Didier Noirot embark on a quest to film the most amazing stories of whales and dolphins across the ocean world. They uncover new insights into the lives of these extraordinary animals that will redefine how we see them forever.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

It would also make teaching babies language much easier, so it would be rewarding.

We have many stingrays where I live. They are graceful creatures and quite gentle. Highly intelligent. They come up to the port when the fishermen bring in their catch to take advantage of any leftovers. They only sting in self-defense and one would have to seriously startle one to provoke the sting (grab it or step on it).

You could just as easily say there is the same level of risk by handling a dog or cow if the standard is 'if they don't behave normally then you could be gravely injured'.

To make sure that they know where the bird is at all times, they make bird noises so the bird responds, thinking its mate is nearby. When they confirm where the bird is, they do it again at the next tree that it lands on until they find it digging into a beehive. They then climb the tree and take the hive's honeycombs from the bird for themselves.

@@koiboybud-dbee4556 They could make crude tech used to make more refined tech, or artwork with stones, etc. if they had the intelligence, it would just require more time and effort to do so. There are people with no hands or feet who not only learn to write but also create stunning, realistic artwork (highly dexterous activities). The fact remains they are too dumb to create civilizations, as are ALL other species (in their current states) on our planet, barring one. That's not a slight to those species it's a tribute to the TREMENDOUS intellect of Homo sapiens.

@@koiboybud-dbee4556 They certainly can, there are plenty of ways to "ground" (see 'stabilize') oneself, even in water: They could operate in the shallows, resting on the ocean floor, they could create ropes out of seaweed, etc.) If they were smart enough, they could and would, because it would be worth even great effort in the end. But they aren't, so they can't and won't...for a few million years at least.

Woweee dolphins are awesome creatures for sure and they are insanely smart... I just now noticed the sounds dolphins make are similar to the noise a metal detector makes... I love watching these @BBCearth videos as they are informative and at times heartwarming even heartbreaking (when the polar bear caught the seal) but the animals have to survive. I've only one complaint really and that is it's hard to hear the narrator at times over the sounds in the video the captions are set to auto generate but they don't always come on screen.. but if I had to rate BBCearth it would be 5 stars all around or a 100 out of 10 because the content is just awesome!

The other counter-intuitive thing about dolphins is a "dry sounding fart" (farts are the lower "whistles") is the best indicator of a messy result, almost always requiring a trip to the loo, and frequently some new knickers as well.

While dolphins are shadowing them, the rays are guarded from sharks and other predators. The octopus is basically protection money paid by the rays to dolphins.
