Nineteen centuries ago , Plutarch , a greek moralist and biographer made this statement :"to the dolphin alone , beyond all other , nature has granted what the best philosophers seek :friendship for no advantage". Dolphins exhibit a friendly willingness to cooperate with other earth creatures . Apparently , there is something quite impressive about dolphins .
Outside of its striking friendliness , dolphin seems to have been blessed with a well developed sense of humour . Dolphins have been known to silently maneuver behind an unsuspecting pelican and snatch its tail feathers - usually leaving the bird a minus few . Other pranks include grabbing unsuspecting fish by the tail , pulling them backward a feet feet as well as bothering slow turtles by rolling them over and over . Once a dolphin was seen placing a piece of squid near a grouper's rock cranny . When the fish came out , the dolphin promptly snatched the bait away , leaving the puzzled fish behind .
In 1965 a great discovery showed that dolphins live in social groups dominated by a leader . This tie is so strong
that dolphins kept in total isolation will suffer ill death and possibly death . It has also been observed that dolphins frequently stroke each other with their flippers , hence , indeicating that they require physical contact much like humans . A dolphin's skin is extremely delicate and easily injured by rough surfaces - very similar to human skin .
