Those who have encountered dolphins up-close in the wild have their own stories to tell. For those who are yet to, here are 10 reasons why dolphins are the kindest creatures in the ocean.

En garde! It’s not easy to see the differences between sailfish and swordfish at first glance. They’re both lightning quick and have bills that look like they’d pierce a dingy. But on closer inspection, the differences begin to show.
As a world stands in shock, after a night spent staring wide-eyed at TV screens and poll swings – the fate of the environment remains unclear. The new president, global warming “conspiracy theorist” Donald Trump, has been elected U.S. President.
For the first time ever, coral researchers have captured the specific behaviour of a coral as it’s bleaching – and the timelapse footage appears extremely violent.
Scientists recently descended deep into the waters of Hawaii to explore underwater mountain ranges of dormant and active volcanoes, what they found was truly remarkable. Creatures behaving completely different to how they should, complex ecosystems hosting life forms living side-by-side that they believed couldn’t co-exist, and species of coral that could be new to science. The latter find being one that nobody expected – such an ecosystem to exist in the dim, cold, and mysterious mesophotic coral zone.
Salmon are on the run. According to a recent paper, farmed salmon escaping from Norwegian aquaculture facilities are mating with wild salmon frequently enough to dilute their genetic stock. Due to existing in abnormal salmon conditions, the escaped fish-farmed salmon have decreased genetic variability – in a survival of the fittest, low genetic variability can make a species more susceptible to disease or even extinction.
Few experiences can compare with the exhilaration of witnessing a humpback whale breaching the water surface, or the tender interactions between a humpback mother and her calf underwater. The majestic humpback is our Wildlife of the Week.
