After school today I went to the sharers club in my disabled son's classroom. His table is called the dolphin group. I know his special needs assistant really loves dolphins. I saw some dolphins in Australia and New Zealand. It was wonderful to feed one in 2000 and it was lovely to go on a dolphin watching trip on Christmas Day in 2001. I was aged 29 years old on that lovely trip. Have you see dolphins? What do you think about dolphins?

Hey great to hear that u had a lovely time with the dolphins. Indeed dolphins are very cute and a treat to watch. i had watched them too very closely at a place called Satapada which is famous for Irawady Dolphins in our country. They were beautiful and greyish black in color. We took lots of snaps and on our way, the guide said that dolphins are one of those intelligent animals on earth who can communicate with the people through their special senses and they are playful and helpful creatures also. What say?

Thanks for your excellent response to my discussion. I am delighted that you saw the dolphins in your home country. I like your description of that variety of dolphins. I am pleased that your took lots of photos. The guides seemed to tell you about the lovely dolphins.

Hi Maxine, Besides the dolphins that I have seen captive at sea aquariums, I saw those wonderful creatures play free when I went to Kunayala. We were sailing from Cartagena de Indias to the San Blas Islands when we saw them. They started to jump over the sea and run under the boat and they had an aura of happiness that you couldn`t but fall in love with them

Yes I have seen dolphins and also swam with them and I think they are wonderful animals and so, so intelligent. I don't quite know what it is about them that i like so much but, I just really adore them. I think it is how graceful they are and how intelligent they are that make them so appealing. One of natures best animals in my opinion.

Hi there! Yes, I have seen dolphins and I absolutely love them! They are such fascinating and intelligent creatures. Wouldn't you agree? So far I have had 3 opportunities to see them. Although, I have not seen dolphins in the wild/ocean. I hope to do that soon. The very first time I saw them was in Sea World, in Orlando, Florida. But that was from a distance (sitting with the rest of the audience.) I got to see them again last year, at 28 years of age, at the Dubai Dolphinarium. I finally got to touch one this year at the Dubai Dolphinarium, when my husband and I took my sister and her family to the Dolphinarium. It was so great! They are remarkable and so very sharp.

Yes, I saw some Dolphins most especially during summer when me and my family come to island hopping since it is more common in tropical countries to go to beaches and islands over the summer period. I love how such moments are rare and feel so astonishing to see such creatures.

when I was a kid there was a kind of "sea world" thing down in Galveston, I think, I remember petting a dolphin's nose there... I remember the show with them jumping through hoops and the like, but my sister got to swim with dolphins in Hawaii...

What is the sharers club about? I have never seen dolphins in real life. I think it would be so neat to pet one and see how they feel and to watch them play together in the water. They seem to be such sweet gentle creatures.

I have seen dolphins, we took a speed boat out to the middle of the ocean when we lived in Hawaii, they raced along side our boat and we stopped to get a better look at them. They are fast swimmers so by the time we stopped they were already gone. I've also been able to swim with some dolphins at a sea park in Hawaii, we had our picture taken with them too. It was fun and my kids were super excited.

Yes. They were moving mostly in pairs. Like the NYPD police team. :) But they do make some sounds. I saw many near goa..it was so exciting to spot one ..our guide pointed towards the first pair, and it took us a few seconds to realize how to spot from where they were emerging and where they were going. We were a bit far but some were pretty close and they made some sounds..lovely creatures. :)

No..I've never seen dolphins in real life..Dolphins are one of my favorite creatures..I think they are really friendly, interesting creature and give a sense serenity..They are common in Greek Mythology and was considered good luck.. I didn't see one when i was in Hawaii..I probably wasn't looking hard enough:)
