Dolphins in Mythology and Science

in #life7 years ago

Aphrodite is often depicted with dolphins, riding them or being accompanied by them. In one myth about Poseidon, dolphin messengers were sent to bring him a nymph he loved, who he later married. As a reward, he set the dolphin in the sky as a constellation.

Wonderful video - dolphins are just extraordinary creatures. Upvoted and resteemed

Love the video! Thx for sharing!

Enjoyed watching the video. Helpers of humankind! How fascinating.

It is just sad to look at where some of these dolphins are at now (or all kinds of animals)... someone with a capitalistic mind decided to put them in an aquarium or a zoo, train these majestic creatures for $$$.

Hello mintvilla, Yes indeed - so true! I think all zoos need a BIG rethink - it would be better perhaps if they had holograms of healthy happy animals in the wild, rather than the sad, unwell specimens we see in zoos! Very few animals really do well in captivity as you know... those that do perhaps could be allowed in zoos... but Panda, monkey, Eagle, gorilla or Dolphin etc?? - these creatures are far to intelligent and majestic to be kept in such prisons.
Thank you for your comment - Have a wonderful day!

I followed,replied and resteemed one of your posts,and you did not reciprocate,as you said you would!
