Ocean Giants, 2011
Dolphins and whales may appear to be totally alien to us. But with their mental ability, group communication and the discovery that dolphins have individual names, they are closer to us than we ever imagined. Ace underwater cameramen Doug Allan and Didier Noirot embark on a quest to film the most amazing stories of whales and dolphins across the ocean world. They uncover new insights into the lives of these extraordinary animals that will redefine how we see them forever.

I think we should develop a language that is functional without grammar so animals can understand it perfectly well.

It would also make teaching babies language much easier, so it would be rewarding.

@alexandraempie3842 2 года назад

We have many stingrays where I live. They are graceful creatures and quite gentle. Highly intelligent. They come up to the port when the fishermen bring in their catch to take advantage of any leftovers. They only sting in self-defense and one would have to seriously startle one to provoke the sting (grab it or step on it).

@kylepessell1350 2 года назад

I found it odd how they would take about 'taking a risk' when the stingray doesn't normally sting all that often.

When they confirm where the bird is, they do it again at the next tree that it lands on until they find it digging into a beehive. They then climb the tree and take the hive's honeycombs from the bird for themselves.

And then the stingray with its massive barb takes out its frustration on the diver holding the camera

I hope that stingray had something to eat that day. Did all that work only for those dolphin meanies to take his lunch

It would be incredible to swim with those animals!

No offense dolphins, seems like your putting more work into following the stingray and possibly being killed then it would take just to swim and find something

Ah yes, stingays, of course.

Poor octopus, such an intelligent animal.

I was thinking the same thing; feeling sorry for the octopus.

Woweee dolphins are awesome creatures for sure and they are insanely smart... I just now noticed the sounds dolphins make are similar to the noise a metal detector makes... I love watching these @BBCearth videos as they are informative and at times heartwarming even heartbreaking (when the polar bear caught the seal) but the animals have to survive. I've only one complaint really and that is it's hard to hear the narrator at times over the sounds in the video the captions are set to auto generate but they don't always come on screen.. but if I had to rate BBCearth it would be 5 stars all around or a 100 out of 10 because the content is just awesome!

One day the dolphins will sing, "So long and thanks for all the fish", as they depart from earth on first sight of the Vogon destructor fleet.

While dolphins are shadowing them, the rays are guarded from sharks and other predators. The octopus is basically protection money paid by the rays to dolphins.

Misleading. The title practically implies tool use, but the video just shows dolphins following stingrays around then stealing their food.

Actually, your words explain another comment in the thread. You might want to have a look at the way you use words though. That's not what I got from them. There are many ways to 'use' things, and this is passive use, but it does require forethought, planning, and observation as a skill set, and that's 'use' by any understanding of the word.

@@ValeriePallaoro The writer was entirely aware of their intent and effect. It's borderline click bait. Misleading.
