Dolphins (toothed whales) – Behavior
www.marinebio.org
external-link
While the subjectivity of intelligence is still matter for debate and some question the capabilities of dolphins based on the structure of their brains it is indisputable that dolphins are capable of a range of complex behaviors. Dolphin cognitive abilities vary between species, but dolphins have shown self-awareness, problem solving skills, complex social interactions, the ability to teach skills to others and sufficient emotional intelligence to cause them to experience grief.

    used to live in the bush in Australia, male kangaroos chase female down until the give up, rape them, and move on. Female kangaroos prefer male humans.

    our rooster, much the same, used to pin the hens down, fuck then then move on. Sometimes he’d have to chase them, some times they just submitted. Both just got on with their lives though.

        That’s what you think everyone is always talking about lizard men when secretly it’s actually dolphin people spreading propaganda to throw off the trail of those of us who know that it’s really the dolphin people.

      If you like ducks already then you should not read up on them. Ducks are the worst!

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
