Yes, and they are quite intelligent. I've often wondered if whales & porpoises are smarter than we are.


Our oldest son swam with a dolphin in Dingle Bay in Ireland..we have a picture of that....

And I bet it took him a week sitting in front of the fireplace to get warm again.... the coldest winter I've ever experienced was a summer in Ireland....

I don't have 'poor blood' (that's an old country euphemism for STDs BTW) but I do have thin Southern blood. I've done my share of jumping
in cold water but I never really liked it. Beats getting eaten by black flies, for example....

If they were smarter than we are they wouldn't get caught in nets and they
would have weapons
of mass distruction and the human race would be in big trouble.
