They tell the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences it is most probably transmitted socially.

alien.gif Dolphins communicate with each other, but we have not as yet learned the language. Because Humans are not under water creatures by nature, that would make us Aliens to them.

Do you think they have adduction meetings telling each other of the Strange encounters with smaller ,black fish, with two back fins, and bubbles coming from their heads? And the Weird Experiments done to them?

Give a person a new perspective don't it? thumbsup.gif

^That is indeed a very interesting theory Roger, it really makes you think. Hopefully we can reach a level of advancement that allows us to understand and communicate with these amazing creatures,

crying.gif And stop Eating them as you would a Tuna would help also! On another tread they are talking about the new Breathing Unit for divers. This will help in the making of more under sea Labs to study on the ocean bottom the true nature of all who live there. Other wise we are just Visitors. And mean ones at that.
