You Won't Drown If This Fish Is Around

Animals are not dumb, they are way smarter then we give them credit for.

11:21 Yes it is clear why they help the fishermen and they do get food out of it. I've never even heard of speculation regarding this as there's no room for it. The dolphins push the fish toward the fisherman's nets and signal when to cast their net. Then when the net hits the water the remaining fish turn 180 and get pushed back right into the dolphins. It just makes fishing practically effortless for both spepcies and they always get a big catch.

Animals are smart they can tell when we’re in danger or a bad mood

True story: I went on my senior high school trip to Jamaica, in 1988. I grew up on the coasts of New Jersey, so ocean creatures were a regular part of my life. One day in Jamaica, we went snorkeling in a protected bay: there was a net out there that didn't allow stuff like sharks in. I had never been near a coral reef before, so was quite interested in swimming around the edges of it to see what I could see. I was not brave enough to swim OVER the reef, though. So, I was in water about ten feet deep and spied a shell that looked cool, and dove to pick it up. That is when a very large shadow moved over me. I rolled over to look and here was my first and last experience with an ocean sunfish. It was HUGE. And I instantly became and olympic swimmer back to shore. The life guards laughed at me. It had floated over the net, on its side. And they said its mouth was the size of a silver dollar. I didn't care. That thing scared me so badly that I spent the remainder of snorkeling in 3 feet of water very close to shore. That actually wasn't bad because there were swarms of tiny bright fish there to see. It would have been nice to have been warned about huge harmless fish, though.

if I'm not mistaken dolphins play with puffer fish because it makes them high

Discussed how dolphines play Shows dolphines exchange pufferfish like how we exchange weed puffs. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The fishermen even have a cemetery for the dolphins here in Laguna.

Dolphins are agents of chaos. They are as likely to commit casual murder for fun as they are to save.

Animals are extremely intelligent. They too convey and feel emotion, strategy, trial and error tactics. They’re incredible. There’s a few reasons my Egyptian ancestors were enthralled by them. Btw if you see this Steve, you’re a charmer 😊

A whale helping a human is like a human helping a squirrel. That is the size difference!

Fish and mammals been living with humans for years, “Man from Atlantis”

In that situation in Brazil the fishermen give some of the fish to the dolphins. It’s not Altruism or them playing. I’ve seen that documentary and they show the fishermen giving the dolphins fish.

The Sunfish was my favorite fish when I was a little kid I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was like seven I grew up on the ocean then one day I broke my neck diving into it now I'm paralyzed now I fear the ocean LOL

I never believe in reincarnation but whenever i hear a story about dolphins saving people i just cant help but think about it. My grandad's friend was a spear fisherman, when a pack of sharks circle him around. He thought he was a goner but then suddenly the sharks left, he look up and saw a herd of dolphins. They lift him up and carried him all the way to shallow waters. Listening to this as a kid made me love dolphins more

The dolphins herding fish to the shallows where fishermen are waiting with nets is a mutual benefit. As the fish try to escape the nets they're easy pickings for the dolphins. BBC Earth.

The Puffer fish is like "Oh no Dolphins- time to puff up!' And the Dolphins 'Alright we got em- time to play kids we found another ball...'

Sunfish = Taxi? xD

Fun fact: In Spanish, the sunfish (Molidae) are called "moonfish" (Pez luna).

I think all fish understand the warm ones need oxygen and help navigating. They understand death and most are wonderfully intelligent.

I read somewhere years ago that in many/most cultures on sea coasts the oldest stories are those involving dolphins (sometimes other sea mammals) either rescuing humans and bringing them to shore or saving them from sharks. I think the reasoning is pretty simple. Dolphins know the sharks are a threat to pretty much all mammals. Dolphins know humans are mammals that live mostly out of the water and can't defend themselves from sharks. Dolphins know humans aren't a threat and generally either play with or feed them. Therefore it's enlightened self interest for dolphins to keep humans safe. Or more simply, dolphins see humans and think, "Oh, the fun & food people! We have to keep them safe!"

Dolphins have reached a level of intelligence where their interactions with other species isn’t purely survival driven anymore. Similar to humans, dolphins will interact with other species for recreational purposes. They are capable of both benevolence and cruelty for its own sake, like humans. Dolphins will even interact with other species for… romantic motivations. This too can be motivated by either positive or negative intent depending on the dolphin’s personality. Dolphins are also intelligent enough to take their own lives under extreme stress or depression, like humans. They’ll swim down deep and simply hold their breath until they die. It seems as though they’re one of the highest known states consciousness has evolved to on the planet outside of humanity.

The guy on the sunfish got me.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've been swimming with wild dolphins before, I could whistle them up with my Shepherd's whistle it was awesome.... been catching a few sharks lately and I've seen parasites on them I tried to scrape them off with my knife before throwing them back

Being a scuba diver, I luv Dolphins 🐬 💙

Playing is a show of intelligence. Very few mammals get the benefit of doing it, and those that do all show heightened intelligence compared to those of their relatives that don't. Dolphins are a perfect example of this.

Your videos entertain me everyday and I love your videos so much! Keep up the good work! ❤❤❤

Now THAT is a REAL sea horse.

Aah! that's why Cameron depicted Tulkuns as the smartest and most emotionally intelligent creatures! ❤

I simply adore dolphins! ❤️

Hands down the most satisfying channel on KZhead 💯💯💯👊🏾

5:44 my mans turned into the cookie monster for one word

Goodbye and thank you for the Fish

I also noticed how they do the mouth thing that dogs do when with their owners

2:25 Decompression sickness: "well yes, but actually no"

I got my mother hooked on this channel now thank you

I would like to think that dolphins are just like humans: some are bad eggs, but most of them are nice and helpful or at least tolerate you.

I love sunfish they are so goofy yet cute

I had a friend who is terrified of whales. He has never been to an ocean nor seen a whale, but has an unexplainable fear of whales. Apparently it's called Cetaphobia.

The sunfish well that fish knocked a whole freaking 40ft boat out of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race on Monday afternoon..lol

10:41 evil dolphin laughter

A dolphin as weapon sounds cool and horrifying at the same time

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Damn R.I.P. Dolphin Jack 😢

Humans will never understand what goes through the minds of dolphins or whales. They are a lot smarter than we think for sure.

I'm starting to think humpback whales have really bad anxiety.

lol, in german, the ocean sunfish is called "Mondfisch", which word by word is "moon fish"

0:45 "This creature is the ocean sunfish shit"

the last story, the dolphins actually get a cut from all the fish they help catch. this is what you could call a sybiotic relationship, they help us catch the fish, in return we feed them.

The guy in the thumbnail caught an alomomola!

So basically they are playing. And we humans hate boredom . I guess it's a win win.

You said dolphins don't get any food when they're helping the Brazilian fisherman, but thats not true, they herd the fish toward the fisherman. Then the fisherman throw their nets, the fish that don't get caught in the nets, swim back towards the Dolphins to get away from the Nets and they're caught in between the two and it's much easier for the Dolphins to eat.

5:53 some marine animals interact with "Beeple"

I think they save people and other creatures to keep predator population down...like they don't want for instance, sharks to get used to prey in there territory.

Bro is encouraging people to drown 🗿

Common?! You gave me blue balls with the weaponized dolphins!

BEST channel on youtube.

the timing of this video - i had a dream last night where i was mobbed by a group of dolphins and one of them bit me and tried to keep me in the water

So *Red Alert* dolphn units is legit! I wonder about the giant squids 😅

Love the content keep it up! :D

Damn now i love Dolphins even more! 👏🏾🙏🏾🐬

Not very many people get to see a sunfish. There are even less that have seen a baby Sunfish. The babies are so tiny and to even think that this little creature, will grow up to be targets bony creature on amd off land. I mean if you ever look at an elephant having a baby. You see the baby and you already know that's this baby will grow up big and strong. The Sunfishes babies around about the size of a pinky finge, fingernail.

The guy rescued off the coast of Ireland was Ruairí McSorley AKA Frostbit Boy. When I heard on the news that he was found miles out to sea surrounded by Dolphins, I thought to myself, that sounds about right.

WATOP got hella bars

"did you hear what Mabel Whale did to a young porpoise?! She threw some sea weed on her face & scared the young porpoise to no end!" "Oh, that Mabel Whale!"

The way the dolphin grabbed the puffer fish and thanks WATOP For making a video about this it actually teached me a couple of things

*new favorite fish unlocked!!!*🙂❤️

Imagine whales are gossiping about how strange you look

It's adorable

My dumb self thinking its gonna be a Minecraft dolphin

"So long, and thanks for all the fish!"

yo us mammals gotta look out for each other

I'd like to imagine the dolphin communicated to the sperm whales...a reason to live.

Sea creatures are absolutely beautiful! I know the ocean has so much mystery that it’s a bit terrifying at times, but you have to admit it’s absolutely breathtaking! (Pun intended) It’s fascinating how compassionate animals can be! 💙💚💙💚

Dolphins with other animals: 😈💀 With humans: 🥰

The sunfish may not mind the guy riding it, but it still looks mean!

I think they are helping us so we don’t consider eating one? if they have that intellect, maybe they’re just doing us solids, and in the near future we do solids for them😂

You have a great voice for narration.

There are fishermen stories passed down from generation to generation that are supposedly true of whales saving shipwreck victims. All they had to do was call out the whale's name and it will come to pick you up on its back and take you to shore.

It's amazing that whales are so gentle

I saw a Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his son on a TV special (this was back in the early 80s). They were on a dive, and Jacques-Yves said that as they were swimming a pair of Orcas (one big male and a smaller female) showed up. He reported that the orcas hung out for a while and in the video you can see that they did, but then suddenly, Jacques-Yves said, the Orcas both stiffened and then shot off out of sight. When they returned the big male had a large Great White in his jaws. The female had killed and brought back an enormous Tiger Shark. Perhaps the Orcas detected the sharks, realized they were dangerous to the humans and killed them both to protect Jacques-Yves and his son.

Waptop justs makes boring subject so funny 🤣😂🤣 this makes everyone day

"You Won't Drown If This Fish Is Around"

Thanks buddy!

The dolphin drama edits are magnificent

I think a lot of animals save people and other animals to deny dangerous predators a meal or to avoid having blood and stuff spread through their area.

Some humans like to save other animals. So it would not be too far fetch that other animals like to save other creatures as well, for similar reasons.

"You Won't Drown If This Fish Is Around" I think this also works with great white sharks - you won't drown

they can speak to each other, remember? they probably have folk tales and politics since they have traditions and dialects. so every time that we help them out, take care of them, and release them into the wild again, they talk about us. imagine if you were swimming in the ocean, got stuck somewhere, and a group of dolphins brought you to an underwater cave with a bunch of other injured humans they’ve collected, but they then take care of you and eventually release you onto the surface again. you’d tell everyone, especially if it’s a common thing. but not every dolphin or other sea creature gets the same positive set of events upon interacting with us. sometimes we’re dangerous, and so sometimes they’ll be dangerous in return. i think we should continue with having peace with sea life. it’ll be important for our continued existence

Amazing!!!!.

The dolphin was smoking the puffer pack

The dolphins need frickin laser beams attached to their heads.

they are guardian angels for sure.

Awesome video

I think Dolphins look at Humans as friends but Orcas most definitely look at Humans as equals or siblings... They'll attack and kill anything in the ocean including dolphins but won't harm a Human!

Dolphins 🐬 are so smart. Imagine an adult seeing an escorted child in a place they don’t belong, it would be difficult for the adults to keep going on their way minding their business until the “dependent being” is left alone. Social beings of that level of intelligence would be able to notice that something is out of order.

Fascinating and wholesome

Plz give Jack the dolphin 1 million dollars and a Oscar

I once read a comment about how if dolphins are as smart as us, whose to say that in dolphin society has "Normal people" like the ones that save other creatures and humans, and "Psychotic people" like the ones that drown creatures for fun?

Smart animals

Why do Humans help animals... It's the same reason... Intelligence and empathy xxx
