- Synopsis
- Companion to the gods and good-luck charm of sailors, the dolphin is one of the most remarkable animals in the world. Although a familiar sight to mariners for over two thousand years, man is just now beginning to unravel the fascinating whys and wherefores of this animal's unique and almost human behavior. Stimulating, amusing, accurate, and lucid, this survey covers the complete panorama of the dolphin's history, its biological functions, and its present valuable role as a research tool. Here are entertaining stories of faithful friendships between man and dolphin, recorded even in Roman times; descriptions of the dolphin's habitat, its physical structure, family life, amazing swimming activities, and mysterious forms of communication; and an account of the promising and absorbing results of current investigations on dolphins being conducted at various research centers on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, Dolphins As They Are offers an intriguing and detailed glimpse into the world of one of nature's most affectionate, intelligent, and fascinating animals.
