Billie

This is the heart warming news that I saw this morning. Well, if you have been to Adelaide before, or particularly Port Adelaide, you probably know that there is a dolphin cruise there on Port Adelaide River. It will only cost about 5 dollars per person, which is considered cheap in Australia.

Now the story is, the dolphin in Port Adelaide is found to be doing Tail walking on the river. You know, tail walking, something we see in seaworld or some circus, dolphin needed to be trained and be conned with fish after their performance. But these dolphins are wild!

According to an observer who has been observing these dolphins for the past 20 years, it was this dolphin by the name Billie who started the show first. About 10-15 years ago, this dolphin Billie was rescued from trapped and was put in the aquarium for three weeks as part of the rescue. Three weeks, noone teach her anything, but then she manage to pick the tricks from other dolphins in the aquarium. When she was released, she started her show, and throughout the years, now it is spotted that at least 6 dolphins who can perform this show on Port Adelaide River.
Now this discovery is something strange to the observer, as traditionally they believe dolphin will teach each other some skills, but only for survival sake. And this is the first case the recreational skills are being taught among dolphin. And that actually indicates how smart is this sea creature….
So? Love our Dolphins.....
and whales.....
