  • This video depicts a very rare interaction between sperm whales and an adult bottlenose dolphin with a spinal malformation (i.e. scoliosis). This represents the first time this type of non-agonistic (friendly) interaction has been recorded for sperm whales. We published a description of these interactions in the scientific journal "Aquatic Mammals".
    Wilson, A.D.M. and Krause, J. 2013. Repeated non-agonistic interactions between a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in Azorean waters . Aquatic Mammals, 39:89 - 96.
    The title of this video is taken from the title chosen for the first media article on this encounter which was published in Science News.
    news.sciencemag...
    This is a summary of our note - in scientific jargon ;)
    Mixed species groups are a well-known phenomenon in cetaceans, but difficulties associated with studying these interactions in marine habitats has limited the available amount of data and literature on this topic, particularly with regard to the functional bases of such interactions. While these associations can vary dramatically in duration (i.e. minutes to years), they are thought to convey a variety of benefits to the species involved including antipredator, foraging, or social benefits among others. Here we describe repeated non-agonistic interactions between a single bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) with a vertebral column malformation (i.e. scoliosis) and a group or groups of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in Azorean waters. To our knowledge, this study represents the first observations of a non-agonistic mixed-species interaction involving P. macrocephalus. Based on our observations, we suggest social factors represent the most likely causal mechanism for the described interactions, although foraging and antipredator mechanisms are also considered.
    NOTE: Special permission was granted to our research group to observe, film and swim with these whales by the Azorean government.

      Karina Peters research actually show otherwise. Money is by no means a source of happiness. In fact wealth actually can contribute to depression. Think about the nice things you’ve bought. How long do they make you happy? I’ve had above average cars and rubbish cars. There’s no relation to happiness. Happiness stems from yourself. You need to decide to be happy. If you unhappy you can change that. More wealth or a better pay Cheque is not going to change it permanently.

And when the divers are gone the whales go back to doing their own thing and the dolphin alone again? I dont doupt intelligence in these animals, but I cant seem to belive that these whales would go against their natural instinct to be in deep water and feeding there🤷🏾‍♀️
      Maybe the dolphin just craves to be with more animals and tries it's best to keep up, and when it cant go any deeper it tries using echolocation to find them again, but eventually he wont find them again?

In my underwater adventures I've learned to speak with my body and interpret what theirs are saying as I attempt to photograph or interact with them. A calm mind does wonders for having sea life approach me. I'm not naieve enough to assume it's animal ESP so I've always assumed it's just body language.

      Freediving Fanatic But both whales and dolphins use ultra sounds that we can't hear to communicate. You can hear in the video soft and loud clicks. My guess is that the low ones are the whales, and the loud ones are from the dolphin. The dolphin has learned to speak to these whales by mimicking their sounds as best as it can. No it can't do the massive moans that whales do, but they still can speak through sound to tell each other apart. I do agree that their motions also communicate things (possibly etiquette) to both whales and dolphins, but both species use sound as their main method of communication and navigation. Just a bit (okay, a LOT) of info for you, not trying to fully disagree. Hope you have a great day today!

While sperm whales can have extremely strong 'vocalizations', this is thought to be mainly for hunting at depth, at the surface the strength is much less, it feels like being near a speaker, but not a crazy rock speaker, just a gentle feeling I'd say, and the clicks and whistles etc, are more general than you would have with head phones at high volume.

    What a beautiful sight, humpback whales have also been seen in the Caribbean giving "rides" to dolphins. The dolphin lays on the whale's head which it then lifts out of the water and the slides down the whale's back and into the water.Those who observed this behaviour believe it to be plays as there is no sign of distress from either animal.
    Also both animals cooperate with each other whilst interacting.

    • @milanka882
      @milanka882 6 років тому +29

      Humpback whales will put everything on the line to protect those marine mammals smaller then themselves from mammal eating orca. They will even carry them away from the predators. Humpbacks and sperm whales have the largest brains on the planet, with a frontal cortex vastly larger than our own (the vast majority of their brain actually). It's the part of the brain that controls higher emotions... compassion, empathy, altruism etc.. They actually have more of those qualities than we do. It's not surprising that these sperm whales have done this, and I wouldn't mind betting it's been done many, many times before. It's just that nobody's seen it before. It's also not surprising that humpbacks will fight orca head-on for species they have no vested interest in saving. But then again as a Christian I believe that God breathes these high emotional qualities into whales as they personify those particular aspects of Him who made them.

      To NOT Already see emotions in animals I have observed, reflects the mind and emotions of the observer. I remember this kind of statement as a child then I observed animals and saw, then I went back to those who taught me that and found the error. It's a spiritual thing

      @Barbazboub- No, what I'm saying is that throughout history since time began animals had emotions. If you're mind is barbarous, so are your eyes. If you kill without feeling because you think an animal or that which is different than you is worthless and you have the Arrogant right to kill it, such a person and People are blinded to the emotions of both animals and other people. A spiritually awakened person doesn't need studies and science to see that. If it takes science to bring you humanness and ability to see joy, smiles, love, attachment, family and not just "instinct" (something else I was taught as a child by lost teachers) than one needs to conclude that something is wrong with the observers. Owners of dogs and cats have been a great source of education to open the eyes of the blind towards these truths. And... I say this as a scientist... I hope that it is clear. I apologise for the confusion as my original second sentence was in reference to the post not my first sentence. Do enjoy the light that the virus is bringing you and the world... Make room in your heart and spaces for animals and plants. Earth is not just for humans nor one group of humans.

      King Doc Nothing to do with "spiritual awakening". Some animals can express complex emotions. Others don't. Some are altruistic, others aren't.
      It's science.

      Mister K the whole point of his comment is that you should treat everything with the same level of respect and love, as animals reflect who you are as a person treating another living thing. The point isn’t that some animals are dumb and that makes it ok to exploit them or that they don’t suffer or whatever other justification for our use of that animal, it’s that the way you treat any animal reflects characteristics about you and that you should be compassionate to all animals as it is a representation to yourself to be compassionate

      @@Parpeing Im sorry but I dont believe that I dont doubt what you said is correct but humans are the only creature who is able to show as much empathy as us humans can we humans can also show the greatest love out of all the animals in the animal kingdom you can't show the greatest love without showing the greatest empathy it's still not clear if animals are even capable of empathy

      I remember seeing a news story about this. His pod rejected him... Dolphins commonly reject lame calves, sometimes they even kill and eat them, because their hunting style requires high athleticism and cooperation, otherwise they would fail. They herd together fish so they can all get more food once. They chase the fish from all direction until they all diverge into a giant fish ball, then they go to chow town. They would not be able to support a lame calf since it wouldn't be able to contribute or keep up.

    That is beauty, right there. Ya know how they say that looks don't matter and that what's on the inside is important? Those Sperm Whales for sure show love and compassion for that dolphin. And it's like what someone in one of the previous comments said, they could've left that poor dolphin if they didn't want to have anything to do with it, but from what I can tell, whether it's instinct or not, they've got empathy. Man, I love when one species helps another for one good reason or another. It's just beautiful.

    • @THEwolfKiana
      @THEwolfKiana 4 роки тому +32

      Whales dive down much deeper than that to hunt. But baby whales can't and have to stay near the surface and wait for their pod to return. Maybe the dolphin does the same when the whales go to hunt? I don't know.

    For those who wrote that sperm whales sacrificed a lot. As you can see, group of whales have calf that cannot dive deep as well and someone has to care about it. So that’s why dolphin can live among them
