dolphins

ach dolphin makes its own unique whistle, and close friends or family will reply with the same sound. The findings, published today (July 22) in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest the dolphins use the whistles like names. Past research showed individual dolphins had personal whistles, but it wasn't clear that other members of their group learned that whistle.

This happy couple is spending the rest of her pregnancy in Hawaii, but they're there for business. Baby business. These parents-to-be are planning a dolphin-assisted birth. They will be staying and studying at the Sirius Institute, an organization dedicated to the "dolphinization of the planet," trying to connect with a dolphin pod in preparation for the little Flipper.

They're all ugly.
