Dolphin

From Flipper to SeaWorld, dolphins have long captured our hearts. In this book Alan Rauch draws on his years of experience working with and studying dolphins. Dolphins are extremely social and recognised as highly intelligent. For centuries they were believed to protect sailors and became emblematic of safe travel, kindness and charity. As the rise in popularity of dolphin - aria in the 1960s allowed public access to dolphins, they became central characters in films such as The Day of the Dolphin and Johnny Mnemonic, and outsmarted humans in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
