Dolphin Trainer, said, "They scanned my stomach with their sonar and like the ultrasound in a doctor’s office, they saw the baby growing inside. I could tell by the way they behaved with me."

Because of dolphins’extraordinary sixth sense capabilities, they are also outstanding in therapeutic settings working with people who have extreme physical disabilities and particularly with children.

Dr. Nadav Shashar, Marine Biologist, Ben Gurion University, said, "The dolphin senses limitations. Pregnancies, physical limitations, injuries and they boost self esteem for children. Having children swim with a dolphin and having it swim around you in the water, petting it and it coming to you and interact with you - it’s special."

"As researchers and trainers continue working with dolphins, they’re unearthing information about the sophisticated ways the dolphins communicate with each other and how they even plan and strategize their next move. Also, they’re finding out that dolphins are more like humans then they ever imagined."

Similar to us, but very different.
