Go Swimming With Dolphins

While they are certainly playful and amusing creatures, there is more to dolphins than just Flipper. Dolphins are among the most intelligent animals in the world, and are found in just about every ocean around the globe. Types of them are even found in some of the major rivers, including the Amazon River in Brazil and the Ganges River in India. Yet they, like so many marine creatures, are threatened by human activity and in many ways are at our mercy for survival. As an elegant way to raise awareness and introduce the masses to the beauty and importance of the dolphin, many vacation resorts offer people the opportunity to go swimming with dolphins to encourage environmental conservation.

In comparison to the rest of oceanic life, dolphins are a relatively new species, having evolved just 10 million year ago. In a strange twist, dolphins are actually the descendants of land animals who evolved into the water, as opposed to most life forms which grew out of the water. Scientists are confident that this evolutionary path, such as dolphins have small vestigial pelvic bones and leg buds as part of their spine.

The difficult fact to realize is that humans are responsible in large part for the threat these magnificent creature are now facing. From the spilling of toxic waste and trash into the oceans to runoff containing dangerous pesticides to accidental collisions with boat propellers, many of the dolphin's main enemies are the careless byproducts of human life. Dolphins are often the accidental victims of fishermen's nets, when they are hauled in with catches of tuna. Unfortunately, dolphins are also hunted for food in many areas of the world and are killed in mass for commercial sale.

So if you get a chance, do not miss the opportunity to go swimming with dolphins, as it is a unique experience and education.
