They also run the Dolphin and Seal Centre along the coast at North Kessock.

How many of you here see dolphins? Raise your hand if you see dolphins. OK, those people who raised their hands, afterwards, the rest of the audience, go talk to them, all right? Actually, this is the best example of priming by experience that I know.

And the last day, the sun comes out, the Orcas come, they're right by the boat. It's fantastic.

And two boats When the second boat was added, what happened was that some of the dolphins left the area completely.

Whales also have contact calls like I described for the dolphins.

These dolphins inhabit the waters of Southeast Asia and breed from South Africa to Australia.

They video taped a pair of dolphins swimming through a section of water filled with hundreds of thousands of air bubbles.

But in fact, if you reversed the figure ground in other words, the dark areas here I forgot to ask for a pointer but if you reverse it, you'll see a whole series of little dolphins. By the way, if you're also a student at CalTech they also tend to just see the dolphins. It's based on experience.

Wild at Heart calls for donation to save the endangered Pink Dolphins near the Taiwan sea.

The paradox was to figure out how dolphins can obtain such high speeds and accelerations with what appears to be a small muscle mass.

Well, in a place like Sarasota, Florida, the average interval between times that a boat is passing within a hundred meters of a dolphin group is six minutes.

The speed of sound in spermaceti is 2,684 m s (at 40 kHz, 36 C), making it nearly twice as fast as in the oil in a dolphin's melon.

The killer whale ( Orcinus orca ), also referred to as the orca whale or orca, and less commonly as the blackfish or grampus, is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family.

Reiss's research suggested that dolphins are able to solve complex problems, use tools, and pass the mirror test, using a mirror to inspect parts of their bodies.

The scientists I was with were not studying the effect of the oil and dispersants on the big stuff the birds, the turtles, the dolphins, the glamorous stuff.

The dolphins eat the fish that have PCBs from the plankton, and those PCBs, being fat soluble, accumulate in these dolphins.

For example, dolphins and whales are completely dependent on the marine environment for all stages of their life, whereas seals feed in the ocean, but breed on land.

Seals, in contrast, undulate their bodies to move on land, similar to the up and down body motion used underwater by many aquatic mammals (dolphins, manatees).

And if we look at a very pristine environment like western Australia, Lars Bider has done work comparing dolphin behavior and distribution before there were dolphin watching boats.

If you are a child under the age of 10 who haven't been ruined yet, you will look at this image and see dolphins. Now, some of you adults here are saying, What dolphins? What dolphins?

The first thing that got me interested in the sounds of these underwater animals, whose world was so foreign to me, was evidence from captive dolphins that captive dolphins could imitate human sounds.
