Interesting… You could train Dolphins to find underwater wrecks… Dolphin Archeologists… as it were. |

A dolphin is then ordered to dive and search. If it finds something, it is trained to surface and touch the front of the boat with its snout. If it has found nothing, it touches the back of the boat.When a dolphin named Ten surfaced from a shallow-water dive last month and touched the front of the boat, Navy specialists were nonplused. "It went positive in a place we didn't expect," said Mike Rothe, who heads the marine mammal program. A week later, a dolphin named Spetz did the same thing in the same area. This time, the dolphin was ordered to take a marker to the object. link Which brings to mind, "…man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much – the wheel, New York, wars and so on – whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man – for precisely the same reasons." |

Sounds like the dolphins deserve a few extra fish heads for all of their hard work. |
