[00:01.49] Lesson 18
[00:03.31] Porpoises
[00:10.62] What would you say is the main characteristic of porpoises?
[00:17.06] There has long been a superstition among mariners that porpoises will save drowning men by pushing them to the surface,
[00:25.54] or protect them from sharks by surrounding them in defensive formation.
[00:31.72] Marine Studio biologists have pointed out that, however intelligent they may be, it is probably a mistake to credit dolphins with any motive of life-saving.
[00:43.54] On the occasions when they have pushed to shore an unconscious human being they have much more likely done it out of curiosity or for sport,
[00:53.55] as in riding the bow waves of a ship.
[00:57.55] In 1928 some porpoises were photographed working like beavers to push ashore a waterlogged mattress.
[01:06.19] If, as has been reported, they have protected humans from sharks,
[01:11.15] it may have been because curiosity attracted them and because the scent of a possible meal attracted the sharks.
[01:18.95] Porpoises and sharks are natural enemies.
[01:22.48] It is possible that upon such an occasion a battle ensued, with the sharks being driven away or killed.
[01:31.19] Whether it be bird, fish or beast, the porpoise is intrigued with anything that is alive.
[01:38.09] They are constantly after the turtles, who peacefully submit to all sorts of indignities.
[01:44.87] One young calf especially enjoyed raising a turtle to the surface with his snout, and then shoving him across the tank like an aquaplane.
[01:54.64] Almost any day a young porpoises may be seen trying to turn a 300-pound sea turtle over by sticking his snout under the edge of his shell
[02:04.07] and pushing up for dear life.
[02:06.72] This is not easy, and may require two porpoises working together.
[02:12.26] In another game, as the turtle swims across the oceanarium, the first porpoise swoops down from above and butts his shell with his belly.
[02:22.62] This knocks the turtle down several feet.
[02:25.63] He no sooner recovers his equilibrium than the next porpoises comes along and hits him another crack.
[02:32.79] Eventually the turtle has been butted all the way down to the floor of the tank.
[02:38.16] He is now satisfied merely to try to stand up, but as soon as he does so a porpoise knocks him flat.
[02:46.00] The turtle at last gives up by pulling his feet under his shell and the game is over.
