Indians call dolphins “person, or a person of a different origin than homo sapiens”. Accordingly, “personality” should have its rights and its exploitation for commercial purposes legally unacceptable. Scientists analyzing animal behavior (ethologists), say that it is very difficult to define the line that separates human intelligence and emotion from the nature of dolphins.

Dolphin is the only mammal whose birth begins literally with the tail and not the head! Young dolphins remain with their mother for two or three years.

In nature, there are almost forty species of Dolphin, their closest relatives are whales and sea cows. Dolphins evolved relatively recently, about ten million years ago, during the Miocene. Most species of dolphins live in salt water but there are freshwater animals.

Communication with dolphins has a positive effect on the human body, especially on the child’s psyche. To such conclusion experts of the British in 1978. From that time began the development of “Dolphin”. Now it is used to treat many physical and mental illnesses, including autism. Swimming with dolphins relieves chronic pain, improves the immune system and even helps language development in children.
