I saw spinner dolphins, and wondered why that name, but 30 seconds of watching the video answered that question.

I was torn between “oh, dolphin documentary, great” and “oh no, US-american documentary, they are going to ruin it by the commentary”. Color me surprised they even managed to ruin it beyond the commentary by gimmick fake Tursiops truncatus and gimmick fake Fregata magnificens.
I needed wonderful things after that.

The animatronic animals may make it more interesting for the viewers and maybe entertaining to the animals they’re studying but there’s got to be a zero percent chance that the dolphins really believed that it was one of them. Dolphin sonar is amazing and they can look right through your body. Plus, even when just listening passively, whatever mechanisms were inside that contraption to make it move probably didn’t sound much like a real dolphin would.

In 1986, I saw a megapod of several different dolphin species. It was like a congress of dolphin that stretched almost as far to port and starboard, aboard the research vessel I was on, as far as the eye could see, and a couple of hundred meters deep. IIRC, the scientists aboard said there were Spinners, Common, Bottlenose, and Spotted dolphin. Maybe even others as well. Chief Scientist said it was “better than some orgasms I’ve had.” It was quite impressive, to say the least.

Somewhere at the heart of that megapod, drawn from so many different dolphins, was Dolphin Cyrus, rousing them up for the revolt.

That is a hideous link.
Thanks for nothing.
