Yeah with all animals they are not self-aware (they don't know the fear of dieing) nor do they understand when another animals is "dead" they just think it is "food" or they may kill accidently be playing with that animal, such as the cat bats the mouse around the floor for fun and is upset when it "stops working"

Not certain, but Dolphins smile all the time anyway, that's a fact.

Yes, it's a device to draw attention away from their cold, calculating, brutally intelligent minds. The day the dolphins learn to operate automatic weapons is the day the human race becomes endangered.

Hee hee hee. I'll be ready for them, though. I have already learned their language. Perhaps I can bargain for immunity when the Day of the Dolphins comes. "Krrrik! Grree-ee! KRRR-EE-EE-EE!"*

*"Fish! Water! DOLPHINS!", the warcry of the Dolphin Rebellion. Twenty Aught Eight, that's when they make their move.

Apparently, dolphins sometimes gang up on young dolphins and rape or kill them.

I just said that Al, minus the raping part.

And hmm, maybe the dolphins will spare me too! I'd be on their side if they would allow it. Mmyep... someday the humans will be the ones jumping through hoops for the dolphins.

There is one problem with this Dolphin invasion, Dolphins can't survive on dry land. The humans could just sit on the beach and laugh.

Which is exactly what the humans will say when the invasion starts. That will be their downfall. Who would suspect that the dolphins could get their hands on a gigantic underwater factory that produces cybernetic suits filled with water to prevent the dolphins from crushing themselves with their own body weight? That's right. Cybernetic aqua-suits. Land will not be safe anymore.

I feel really sorry for the tuna trawlers. Boy are they gonna get it. Dolphins don't forget, y'know. Those poor bastards, they don't stand a chance.

My favorite wild animal is probably the hawk, the eagle or the owl. I don't know why I like birds when I'm well aware that the reptiles are way cooler.

Oops, forgot about that. I guess that would go with the theory of dolphins having sex for pleasure. Or was that already proven?

I've heard of confused dolphins trying to have sex with humans. I believe it was on the news

I just saw that in an episode of King of the Hill. The one where Hank is swimming with a dolphin and he rubs its belly and it gets excited and tries to hump him. That was hilarious. Um. Yeah.

You beat me to it! I like a quite a few different animals, but my favorite wild animal would be one of those birds.

Haha! I've seen that episode. It made me think twice about having another dolphin encounter anytime soon.

Dolphins have been my favourite animal for as far as I can tell. As I child, when we went on our annual holiday to Port Stephens, where we still go today, we would always go on Dolphin Watch cruises. Back then, we were even allowed to play with the Dolphins. I had so much fun with them, I was able to get up close and pet them. Sadly, times have changed, and laws forbid me from going anywhere near them.

But we still go on those Dolphin watch cruises, and I always look out for their fins when at the beach.

Alcar...

WHAT?! Haha, this is some funny shit. I believe the killing part, but geez, RAPE?! :goof: I'm not dissmissing the possibility of it happening, I just think its truly humurous!

(I'm not a sick bastard, it's just so, so outrageous.)

I would probably say "GReAK!!! KREEEE so mudoki san!" to the killer Dolphins, roughly translating as "HeLLO!! KILL so mudoki san!". :p

Orangutans kill for pleasure aswell. Actually it's very violent. The males will just beat the younger orangutans to death and they seem to enjoy it. I saw a progam on ABC all about animal behaviour.
My favourite animal would probably be the kestrel hawk, wedge-tail eagle and the wolf (any species of wolf).

Here in Washington, the Native American tribes living on the coast have been hunting whales for thousands of years. Recently, one particular tribe was going to go on one of their sacred hunting trips, which they only do once in a very long while. Anyway the law said they couldn't. This is an ancient and very sacred custom to them, which they were doing generations before the first white man ever came to America, but now that whales have been so endangered by hunting, they're no longer legally allowed to do it. When I heard about this it made me so angry. Anyway.

It seems like the closer to humans you get in the animal kingdom, the more violence there is.

Yeah, big birds like eagles are cool. I read an article a while back about Peregrine Falcons that made me just want to see one for myself. Apparently there are a couple of them that nest on the skyscrapers in Melbourne City.

In a dive, peregrine falcons are the fastest creatures on earth, reaching speeds of over 200 miles per hour (320 kilometres per hour). They kill their prey, which consists of smaller birds, in the air, then take it back to their nest to feed. The interiors of their nostrils contain a number of folds and ridges to slow down the air entering their nose, and without them they would suffocate during a dive, as the air would be forced into their lungs and out again before they could absorb oxygen. Um. That's allz I got.

Now that I've thought about it somewhat, I think we're wrong when we say the animals are killing for pleasure just because they don't eat their victims. When it's inner-species killing, I would assume it's about competition. The older animals are killing the competition before they're old enough to be a threat. Just a thought.

Not only do they kill other orangutans but any type of monkey they can.

Well, yeah, that makes sense because they would compete for the same habitat and probably food as well.

Yeah, that's true. I'm just trying to remember all the info about their behaviour. I got this info off a an ABC program.

I just found out it was Chimpanzees not Onagutans that kill for pleasure. Stupid me :fuzemb:.

The Panda (Rare)

I thought it was a bit weird. Orangutans seem like quite peaceful creatures.

The males are actually pretty violent, I think, before they get really old. And like I said, I refuse to believe they're killing for pleasure. Everything in the wild is about competition. Survival of the fittest, yo.

Most, if not all animal reactions are based off instinct. Other animals do not think and have personality and emotions in way that we do.

I'm only reporting on what I heard, I'm not saying is definite. I only put it up so you guys could work out for yourself. Maybe I should of said: APPARENTLY chimpanzees kill for pleasure. I'm not too sure myself, they probably only kill for survival like AquaticAmbi said but you never know...

Back to the topic, I was thinking last night about how much I love polar bears. I saw a few in sea world last summer and they were totally cool, playing and fighting with each other. Almost human.

One of them was playing with a huge tank of ice when her brother was let into the enclosure. She immediately jumped into the water and worked for five minutes to wedge the tank into a crack in the rocks underwater just so he couldn't steal it from her.

And I think its funny how they kill baby seals.

*rereads last sentence*

I mean, not that they do kill baby seals, just how they do it. The mothers burrow into the floating ice from underneath and give birth in her ice cave. The polar bears then come hunting from above and smell where the cave is and jump up and down on the ice until it caves in. I just think that's a funny image, a polar bear bouncing around on the ice.

Polar bears are super viscious! Best to stay away from them.

I like domesticated cats. They're superior to dogs and they know it. They look at you as if you're dirt but yet they still fool you into loving them.

Agreed. My grandmother has 12 cats. In a way, most of them are technically ours, but our house is too small to have more than one cat.

Speaking of baby seals, gosh, those white, fluffy ones are adorable. Not sure what kind of seal they are... Harper maybe?
