If you ever feel the need for a second opinion after seeing a doctor, you may want to take a swim in the ocean, because a dolphin could figure out that you're sick before anyone else. That's what happened to Patricia Stoops when she swam with dolphins during a cruise. One dolphin in particular, named Keppler, seemed to think something was wrong with Stoops, and wouldn't leave her alone. It even led the trainer to ask Stoops if she was there as part of a Make-a-Wish wish fulfillment. Stoops thought herself to be in perfect health, but only a week later, an unusual chest pain sent her to the doctor, and she was diagnosed with lung cancer. The cancer was treated successfully, and Stoops credits ...
Conservationists warned Monday that Hong Kong may lose its rare Chinese white dolphins, also known as pink dolphins for their unique color, unless it takes urgent action against pollution and other threats.

"It is up to the government and every Hong Kong citizen to stand up for dolphins. We risk losing them ...

As the bodies have been found across the western Italian coast, this rules out a human pollutant as the ...

Bottlenose dolphins call out the specific names of loved ones when they become separated, a study finds. Other than humans, the dolphins are the only animals known to do this, according to the study, published in the latest Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The big difference with bottlenose dolphins is that these communications consist of whistles, not words. Earlier research found that bottlenose dolphins name themselves, with dolphins having a "signature whistle" that encodes other ...
