I
like this show when it was on the air. Then they were transported
to another water planet, and I guess the executives got cold
feet, and "magically" brought them back to earth
to save $$.
It
was stupid.
Just
think of all the cool stuff they could have done on another
planet ! To make the show unique.
To
Touch a Wild Dolphin - In the tradition of When Elephants
Weep by Susan McCarthy and Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, biologist
Smolker provides an intimate, engaging glimpse into the world
of wild dolphins. In 1982, Smolker sold all her possessions and
traveled to Monkey Mia, a remote beach in western Australia where
people frequently encounter wild dolphins. For 15 years, her team
collected data on dolphin existence: their sophisticated social
structures; their vocal and mimetic skills enabling communication;
and their clever predatory techniques, including the use of tools
and sound to capture fish. Smolker and her colleagues identified
more than 200 individual dolphins, among whom she discerned a
host of distinct personalities.
