Richard O’Barry Instagram – (Turn up sound) Hunting with Sonar Once Again: We don’t feed the dolphins in the foraging pen. They feed themselves. The village fishermen simply introduce live fish into the pen during the night. In the morning the dolphins enter the pen and they must locate the fish, chase them down and feed themselves. Many times they work together to accomplish this. The three dolphins have returned to the same “cooperative foraging techniques” their mothers taught them. The dolphins used these same techniques successfully everyday before they were captured and dumped into a hotel swimming pool. Listen to them stun the fish with their sonar. They could never do this in the hotel swimming pool for those ten long years of brutal captivity. To watch them work together as a team catching fish is a beautiful thing to behold. (Video by Gede)
