Do dolphins talk? This one instance shows that an oceanarium in Florida has an pilot whale who became aggressive to smaller dolphins in the tank, the keepers decided to try something to stop that bad behavior so they drained the whale's tank halfway so that it became stranded. It became frantic and started making sad whistling noises. The smaller dolphins went to him and comforted him with whistles and chirps. After the keepers refilled the tank, the whale's attitude changed for the better.
Another occurrence was that an vessel researching gray whales put an microphones inside an lagoon. 5 bottle nose dolphins passed by and noticed the weird microphone. They stopped and gathered around themselves and had an “conversation” of whistles and chirps. A lone dolphin left the group and examined the microphone then went back to the other 4 dolphins. A loud stadium like cheers and chirps were recorded for several minutes before they all went on their way. It looks like to me that they were discussing the strange object and sent an scout to check it out and tell them about it before they left.
I'm excited that it actually displays intelligence and I hope one day the researchers will be able to break through the communication barrier with the dolphins!
