INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:
Name: Common Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)

Size: 2 - 4 metres long weight: 150 – 650 kg
Diet: fish, cephalopod, crustacean
Conservation status: Least Concern
Interesting facts: dolphin is a mammal, not a fish! Baby dolphins always drink mother milk | dolphins have bigger brains, than humans | dolphins usually live in groups | dolphin is one of few animals, who kill not only for food! Dolphins are well-known for killing porpoises, their smaller "cousins". Male dolphins are also known to rape the females. Male dolphins even kill baby dolphins to make their mothers want to mate again. Dolphins are not that cute and nice animals, as many people think. They have no problem to kill a shark and they sometime annoy or sexually harass swimmers in the sea | dolphins use very effective echolocation to search for prey | dolphins are time to time found washed ashore, too often dying – nobody knows, why this happens.
Relationship with humans: people keep dolphins in aquariums and dolphinarius, where the animals perform special tricks – dolphins very easily learn those tricks | there are scientific researches about dolphins, which usually prove their high inteligence | dolphins appear in many human legends | some dolphins help people to hunt fish throught whole generations of both, people and dolphins | US army uses dolphins, teaching them to find mines and so on... | in some parts of the world, wild dolphins come from their own will to interact with people

I must tell you here that there has never been any evidence of dolphins committing 'rape' as humans understand it. The idea that people have about that is based on disproportionate reactions to reports from naturalists about instances of 'tooth raking', which adult and juvenile male dolphins use as coercion. It is true that male dolphins sometimes 'herd' females in an effort to get them to mate with them, but no one has ever witnessed forcible sexual contact in those cases.
Furthermore, dolphins do not 'sexually harass' other species. Their social interactions indicate that they see sex as a form of exploration or play, and humans can be hurt by this because we are smaller and frailer - we see as assault what they see as ordinary friendly interaction or dominance behaviors.

They had a bunch of these in a pool at Sea World San Diego, it was the pool of the untrained dolphins, where people could buy fresh fish and walk right up and feed them, the dolphins loved the attention, except for dad who tried to outsmart one thinking he could cause it was untrained. He tried to tease it with the fish, but the Dolphin snagged his hotdog danced away teasing him with it. We still have that video, never try to outsmart a dolphin, they're smarter than we are.
