Dolphin Asks Diver For Help.


Occasionally a small bit of film can renew one's faith not only in humanity, but also in our relationship with wildlife.

We agreed with your other post but it has vanished. Unfortunately, criminals use the situation for their own benefit.

Unfortunately a well known troll was using my post to spread her anti-everything venom. I took it down. Common sense just infuriates some people.

Your blog post disappeared between my writing a comment and posting it. I can understand why.
I'll enjoy the dolphins more I'm sure

Cro Magnon said...

I had a feeling that if I showed my support for the demonstrators, and my dislike of the looters, that some would take the opportunity to vent their crackpot ideas. I decided not to give them the chance.

Debi said...

What a lovely video!.I love happy endings!.Dolphins are beautiful creatures and I can remember watching about 20 of them following a cruise ship I was on.It was an amazing sight,xx

Cro Magnon said...

The only time I've seen any 'live' was crossing from Southern Spain to Morocco. Such beautiful and elegant creatures.

Adrian Ward said...

If you want to keep the trolls busy I suggest sending your blog post to several bloggers and it can be published on multiple platforms. Should keep the gobby twats busy if nothing else. My email is adrianwrd@gmail.com

Cro Magnon said...

I think keeping it here exclusively is enough for one troll to cope with. Even though she/he must be unemployed, and has nothing better to do, it keeps her busy all day.

Debi said...

I was on a cruise ship with Monte Carlo as the next stop and the Captain announced that if we looked to the left we could see whales....I thought he meant Wales,lol and for a few mins thought that I was on the wrong ship.I had drank a few cocktails by then!xx

Cro Magnon said...

Easy mistake to make (after all those Gins).

Graham Edwards said...

I have to say that was a very heart-warming message. We see quite a lot of dolphins, porpoises and whales in The Minch. A pod of Orcas once herded seals into the bay below the house and turned the sea red with their blood. One assumes that they did it entirely for food and not enjoyment or hatred.

Cro Magnon said...

I've seen a shoal of Porpoises off Brighton; goodness knows what they were doing there. It's a shame they don't stay.

There's so much about this wonderful world that we still don't understand.
Now, regarding pickled walnuts - He Who Shops bought a jar of Opies in Tesco. I can't eat them!!! The label lists Barley malt vinegar and Barley malt extract, and I'm a coeliac!! I am so disappointed.

Arseholes just need to be deleted cro xx

Tasker Dunham said...

Intelligence is not the preserve of humans. In fact, speaking of trolls, some dolphins are more intelligent than some humans.

Cro Magnon said...

That's a shame. Opies are the best commercial ones. Maybe He Who Shops should pickle some using ordinary vinegar and sugar. First find your Walnuts.

Cro Magnon said...

I can't imagine who you're referring to, but of course you're correct.

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

So nice to see such a humane and gentle act. I love them ..... we saw some in Florida ..... we also saw Manatee .... they don’t get as much love or press coverage because they aren’t as pretty as dolphins but are very gentle creatures. XXXX

JayCee said...

We often get pods of dolphins and sometimes whales and basking sharks close by our coastline here. We have a local whale and dolphin watch organisation who monitor their activity and record numbers. Wonderful creatures aren't they?

Cro Magnon said...

Manatee are just plain ugly, but, as you say, very gentle and quiet creatures. It pays to be 'cute'.

Cro Magnon said...

They certainly are. I do wish people wouldn't 'train' or tag them. It's not very dignified.

Cro Magnon said...

He/She is.

Sue said...

Beautiful creatures. Love watching them in their natural habitat surfing the waves.

Anonymous said...

After a week of watching awful things on tv, What a pleasant clip to view on a Friday evening. Thank you.

Cro Magnon said...

That's how we should always see them; not in some 'aqua show' or whatever.

Carol Caldwell said...

Beautiful film. The dolphin was so trusting.

Cro Magnon said...

Therapy Andrew.

Cro Magnon said...

I suppose the human was his/her only hope.

Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybe said...

I’d rather watch animal shows, especially dolphins, wales, and elephants than any other programs. Their grace and nobility far outrank many in the human race.

gz said...

Heartwarming and beautiful.
Moderate your comments.. don't let them be published straight away. I returned to that an immediately got far less spam etc.

Cro Magnon said...

I agree. No violence, no shouting, no explosions, etc. Perfect.

Cro Magnon said...

I understand what you mean, but I think it takes away from the spontaneity and flow of comments.

Unknown said...

Cro -In a time of such sadness in the world this got to me and made me cry. It was nice to see some kindness. Ronnie

Cro Magnon said...

We all need some joy in our lives at the moment. There isn't much around!

I am/was so lucky that when I lived in a Laguna Beach I was able to see wonderful sea life.
Thank You for this post today,

Susan Heather said...

Just got around to watching this. Nice start to the day.
