Ok... humans are animals too. Maybe we should just brush it off when humans rape each other like we do with dolphins. It's in male humans nature to have really strong sex drive, just like male dolphins. Infanticide and rape are natural occurrences throughout basically the entire animal kingdom. We made up some rules in human society and enforced them to prevent this behavior... But that is indeed our nature as well.
The fact that dolphins can have that sweet side to them is part of what makes them so unsettling. If they were just strictly evil, they'd be easy to read. But since animals are more amoral than anything, it's just best to avoid getting too comfortable around them. It's kind of like working in child care while knowing that the kids will one day be adults, and there's no way to really tell if they ultimately grow up to be good samaritans, or absolute menaces to society.
The best thing any of us can do when we're dealing with an intelligent animal (*looks at camera*) is encourage the good behavior. We can all get along okay, but everybody gotta put some work in to raise the bar. It's always easier with support, so be that for others when you can, even a wild animal you may never see again.
I absolutely love the humor & double-entendre in your videos! You are exceptionally intelligent, educated, creative, and articulate. Your clever videos are as informative as they are entertaining! Thank you!
@@haroldotrotter9148 Sharks don't really have the intelligence to do it out of malice or fun though. they do it because instinct says kill and eat that thing or kill that thing to protect yourself. It's really different because of how smart the dolphin is and it still chooses to do these things.
i think part of the reason why some people get so pressed about dolphins or chimpanzees or the like "being evil" is because humans tend to equate intelligence with morality. to realize that some of the most intelligent animals on the planet commit some of the same atrocities as humans raises some questions about the nature of intelligence that a lot of people don't want to examine. that and it's a reminder that we ourselves really are just animals and that the dividing line between "animal" and "human" is a lot thinner than we care to admit.
Aren't morality and ethics just agreed upon rulesets in societies? -> They ahve that too, but they are not the same as ours. (heck we humans do not agree to the 100% same ethical/moral rulesets.)
@@nirfz No. Morality and ethics have a genetic root. And you can't excuse r*pe and sadism based on "tHeIr mOrAlS aRe dIfErEnT" You wouldn't excuse N*zis of massacring children because "they were indoctrinated"
@@nirfz Often based on empathy. Some of it may not be rigidly agreed on, but those with empathy can intuit that it's unacceptable because they have the ability to feel for others. Hence people often agreeing that something is absolutely wrong, despite it being completely legal.
I used to work for a parrot rescue. A lot of people assume the more intelligent an animal is, the better... but something we would always warn prospective parrot parents of was this: the more intelligent an animal is, the more easily bored they are, and the more stimulation they need from their environment. When it comes to smarts, Dolphins are a big fish in a small pond...everything around them is basically just a lego block to them.
Legit, this is why I can't have a border collie. I don't have a lifestyle that would allow me to provide enough stimulation for it to be happy and healthy.
6:53 The warning notice ends with a chibi picture of a dolphin and the warning "Even if they're cute, don't go near them." Which pretty much sums up this video.

I love when you mentioned sentence enhancers, which is exactly what Spongebob and Patrick refer to swearing as, and they use a dolphin sound effects. Fits perfectly 👌
In marine science, my professor always told us: If your boat is sinking and there’s a pod of dolphins on one side and a school of sharks on the other side, jump into the sharks
Still sounds like a pretty stupid decision ... i guess his reasoning is they only kill and eat you while the dolphins could do worse. But they also could save you and that option no matter how small is not there with the sharks. And that sounds like a stupid decision and something he actually wouldn`t do. Its a bit like the stupid claim that a women would rather be alone with a random bear than with a random man. And yes a lot of women actually say that ... but in reality if a women encounters a stranger and a bear in the wild she will hide behind the stranger to get away from the bear. And not the other way around. Your Profs claim is the same!
This feels like the bear vs man question. The worst bear & shark can do, is bite and kill you. The worst man & dolphin can do? Yeah, I'm afraid just thinking about it...
Great documentary. 😂 The quote fits perfect though. I have a theory that deep research authors like Michael Crichton, Dan Brown and Tom Clancy will be a thing of the past, which is unfortunate.
"The worst thing a wild animal can do is forget his fear of humans" is a powerful line Also love the way he's honest and smart with his viewers ; not a one sided information but really gives the complete picture and contrast that coexist so it doesn't direct your opinion but let you have your own. May this channel live a long time
I really appreciated that couple of minutes to set the record straight about how to view animals. Especially those who normally get a good/bad rep. As others have said, it's an incredibly important lesson that many people have forgotten.
it's facinating you bring up that last part, indeed, people need to stop seeing animals either through a disney lens or as monsters. They need to recognize that animals are animals, just like people, animals of all varieties are capable of doing both good and bad things towards eachother, it's only a matter of life that certain things apear the way they do because of how different animals need to do things to survive.
I keep telling people to leave wild animals alone and stop putting human values on them and they get mad. Came across way too many people who look at animals with a Disney lens
It's surprisingly hard to find people who don't want to reduce something to one aspect that they can then adhere to or dismiss without thinking too deeply ;:l
one thing i love about you is that regardless of your own opinions, you acknowledge that other animals can't really be held to the same moral standards as humans. Regardless of if an animal is widely hated or loved, you make people aware of both sides of things. A reminder that morality is actually something that isn't really considered by nature. Morality is essentially a spectrum based purely in perception. What may be considered good by one's standards can be completely evil by another. Nature isn't designed with the average human's moral standards in mind. It's based purely in whatever manages to not die. Humans are too quick to forget that not everything revolves around them.
“They could if they would, and we can and we have” is such a humbling sentiment. Whether you believe humans are blessed by a god or were a happy accident of natural selection, I feel we are so privileged to be aware of ourselves to the degree we are. At the end of the day, we’re just animals too, each of us trying to make it as best we can. That doesn’t excuse the harm we sometimes cause to each other and the world around us but we have the intelligence to UNDERSTAND that and can CHOOSE to not cause harm when possible, y’know?
When you said "we're just animals too" you hit the biggest truth. Plenty of animals also have the intelligence, and communication, and social behaviors, to also know the difference. To similar levels as us before we had technology and advanced languages. Every functional Human group knows that murder is wrong (though that's a chicken & egg problem). When our groups get large enough we make laws, and "random murder = illegal" is reliably among the first laws. But that law never stops random murder from being a problem in any society. Ethical consensus never stops the nasty exception from popping up. The murderer knows murder is wrong too, but that didn't stop them. Creatures are driven by urges and impulses, often contradicting their own better judgment. I mean... I just stayed up until 2 AM eating Halloween candy, and I knew it was a bad move while I was doing it. I have a hard time believing that chimps, crows, dogs, or dolphins are much different. We may be more sophisticated overall, with fancy language and technology, but that's really our only difference. Looking at a model of our ethics, we're just another warm blooded tetrapod.
I deeply feel like that's not where this argument should end? Like, yes, we're all animals, but to act like the perpetrators of all this violence, esp s-xual, aren't significantly mostly men is ignoring a big part of this fact. Plus, acting like it's alright bc they're just animals _just like us_, like, do you see the train of thought that's going for???? Now ofc I'm not saying that therefore judging animals by human standards is the right thing to do, but I'm definetly saying you can't normalize it just being a fact of life, or things like grape being, even interspecies, being biology- the amount of ppl I've seen using that as justification is dangerous. And to borderline confirm that, is dangerous. Idk, just saying.
@, you make a good point, and I’d like to clarify that while the fact that human beings are animals might EXPLAIN our behaviors, it does not EXCUSE them. As I mentioned, human beings have the capacity to recognize when our actions may, can, will, and do cause harm. And I believe that humans have a responsibility to ourselves, to each other, and to the world we live in, to try and cause as little harm as we can, but that’s my SUBJECTIVE moral opinion. And that’s the uncomfortable truth: morality IS subjective. Morality is a social construct, a complicated tapestry woven together from innumerable factors including lived experiences, personal responsibilities, the environment you inhabit, social pressures and societal expectations, and probably the most uncomfortable part: morality is flexible. Morals CHANGE over time. And unfortunately, morals don’t always prevent harm. People throughout history and even today have done terrible things in service to their morals. It’s not that they’re ignorant of the harm their actions are causing, but that they can justify that harm THROUGH their morals. According to well regarding anthropological studies, we have, through tracing mitochondria in human beings back far enough, discovered that it is incredibly likely that all human beings alive right now are directly related to a single woman from around 100 to 230 thousand years ago. Everyone currently alive right now are literally all cousins, family (in many cultures to cause harm to a member of your own family is the most horrible of social taboos) and yet we do the most awful shit to each other for basically any reason you can imagine. And that’s the scary part: reason. Reason is the most potent survival strategy humans have developed and I don’t think I need to explain why. To summarize: human beings are animals. That is an objective fact of life. However, we are privileged in our understand of ourselves and the world around us, and are responsible to treat each other and our world well, but we don’t. The myriad of evolutionary adaptations we’ve developed over millions of years not only help us survive and thrive, but also help us do awful things to each other by justifying those actions to ourselves and to our larger societies. As humans continue to become interconnected, the metrics by which we separate ourselves from each other will slowly trend closer and closer but there will be extreme anti-unity reactions and people will find new justifications to do awful things in service of their reasoning. Eventually, humanity may mostly come together, pool our resources, and really start being able to realize our true potential to affect the universe we inhabit, but if we’re not careful, we’ll kill each other before we ever get there.
@@Anthintendohonestly, I am not a religious knucklehead, but this violent clash between our nature and our attempts to establish law and morality is my biggest proof that something interfered with our evolution at some point. Think about it, nearly every rule and norm the Western society tries to enforce today goes directly against our nature. For example, we are polygamous animals, who desperately try to be monogamous because it's more convenient. I don't if it was God or aliens, but something has definitely put a piece of its own otherworldly nature into ours.
@@firefly6882 Just saying it will never go away. Not saying it's acceptable. Pretending we're "better" is the kind of mistake that makes us complacent, and naive. Instead we should own the harsh truth, and be vigilant. There will always be monsters among us, and even a bit of a monster within each of us. Dont fool yourself, be careful and aware instead.
Maybe my tastes r childish but I feel like dolphins are ornery & just simply don't know better. Bc they're animals. Or maybe I'm completely off & they do know what's right and wrong? 🤔🤷🏻♀️. I just imagine them doing bratty things & laughing about it. Only it sounds innocent & they know it does. Kinda like when my toddler channels her inner wever ha haaa character that was on the simpsons. I don't want to be near dolphins tho. Unless there's sharks around
Yeah, interestingly a study found that dolphins gain self awareness younger than humans. It doesn't mean they are smarter than us, but they are self absorbed like us perhaps without the capacity for empathy or something. They are like children that think they're the center of the universe.
I think to some extent they recognize that humans are about as smart as them, but they don't realize how fragile we are by comparison despite us looking like fleshy stick bugs
@@ahhwe-any7434 Dolphins brains are not only bigger than humans but also denser and more complex. The reason we are "more intelligent" has more to do with our hands, our stamina and living outside the water than our brains.

That includes us.
Part of the learning curve of conservation is realizing that animals are just animals and it’s detrimental to anthropomorphize them. You have to separate how you feel about certain animals and keep in mind that all animals are struggling to survive, have their own behaviors, and are not beholden to our standards of “good” “evil” or “deserving.” Most wild animals want nothing to do with humans but people are constantly forcing interactions. Conservation should never be about what animals can do for you, it should be about what you can do for animals/nature. Only advocating for “cute” and “harmless” animals does nothing to help the overall ecosystem or prevent the human destruction of environments. I appreciate CG taking the time at the end of the video to remind people that dolphins and other creatures are simply animals and to not view them through evil or disney-fied glasses.
That said, those of us who don't want to go anywhere near strange animals should be allowed to do so. I personally want nothing to do with most animals, unless they've proven themselves as allies. ie stray cats and other local friendlies. While its not good to Disnify animals, its fine to pick and choose which ones to spend energy on based on whether they display good behavior or not. Hell, I treat humans the same way.
@@awakenow7147that’s just normal buddy, wild animals aren’t “allies” and shouldn’t be pets or “friends” to humans, ur just saying “i want a domesticated animal because they’re literally bred for human companionship” which is just like??? yea girl go off no one disagrees with that. u shouldn’t think about wild animals as anything other than animals, it doesn’t matter if u want to interact with them or not that thought process is harmful and wrong.
@@awakenow7147 I am not at all saying people need to be forced to interact with animals, wild or domesticated, but you have to understand that there is going to be continued human-animal interactions as humans develop land and wild animals adapt into urban animals. People are more and more becoming aware of urban animals but aren’t educated enough on how to handle interactions, so you have a mixed bag of people feeding urban animals or killing them. Coyotes and deer are prime examples of urban animals rising in population, and I think as humans it’s our responsibility to navigate problems that can arise from it. That’s also why I included that we have to separate the ideas of “deserving” animals in conservation. We can’t just advocate for animals we think ‘deserve’ to be helped. Insects and other bug species are becoming extinct at an alarming rate, but I barely see conservation efforts for them besides the monarch butterfly. Conservation is a complex issue, but applying to only things you personally want to protect is ultimately a detrimental and self-centered way of thinking. Conservation is a principle where learning should never stop. You should not need to interact with animals to learn to be compassionate towards them.
Seriously, the amount of times people have advocated the death of either a reptile or insect just becuase it ate something they considered cute like a cat or hummingbird is INSANE. Like to most people these days, not being a cute animal is basically a death sentence.
You know a species is intelligent when grandmothers appear on the scene. Grandmothers rearing grandkids mean a prolonged childhood and a necessary exchange of culture and knowledge.
@ they can and do. Dolphins of course, cannot unless a human puts themselves in a position (in the ocean surrounded by a pod without defenses). If they were as smart as everyone for whatever reason wishes they were, they wouldn't be so easily hunted, killed, and then eaten.
My dad would often swim very far out to try and get interesting underwater photos. He ran into a pod of dolphins in about the same place on two different occasions. No way to know if it was the same pod both times, but it was two very different experiences. The first time they made a little tornado around him, seemingly "protecting" him. Turns out, there was a tiger shark sighting in the area that day that we didn't know about until afterward. The next time, about a week later, the dolphins clicked at him aggressively, and one swam far below him, only to swim very fast towards him. He swam backward and snapped a photo as the dolphin spun directly in front of him, either trying to ram him or ram near him to scare him off. My father smartly swam in the other direction afterward. Dolphins really do just be dolphins, and their intelligence likely means that, just like people, they're capable of using that intellect for good, for benevolence, as well as for evil and malevolence.
I bet they weren't protecting him from the shark, I bet they were trapping him in case the shark wanted him, who knows what deal they were trying to broker for whatever reason, and the shark declined so they let him go.
I love your channel and all the animal facts/videos. I've heard the dolphin stories before about them getting too friendly with women, and multiple males holding female dolphins hostage. But you make it fun to listen to.

@@crusader2412 You are a sick disturbed person. Dolphins are animals, they aren't born with an ingrained sense of morality. Human beings are. Meaning that you have even less defense than a dolphin for you being living garbage.
Considering the horrific shit humanity has done and continues to do we really can't judge other animals too harshly. We're just wild animals in our own environment, some will fuck you up for no reason some will help others simply out of the kindness of their mind.
Many years ago my brother and I went swimming with wild dolphins just off the coast near New Zealand. We thought it was a magical experience. Now looking back with my knowledge of dolphins now, I feel like we were very lucky we didn't get dolphin diddled
In Greek Mythology dolphins came about when pirates were transformed into sea creatures for trying to get frisky with Dionysius. I think the Ancient Greeks might have been more observant of dolphin behavior than people realize.
The common consensus is that because we have high technology, we are automatically smarter, more observant and more civilized than the people of the past. Of course, another part of the problem is the teaching of Darwinian evolution, which requires that creatures get better at surviving over time. If evolution were true, it only makes sense to view people of the past as less capable, because by definition they are less evolved. If you remove the biases of modern society and take a closer look though, you'll find that not only is humanity the same now as it was thousands of years ago, but if anything our technology makes us *worse* in many ways. That isn't to say that technology itself is bad, but that it allows already wicked human beings to magnify their wickedness all the more. Those older cultures may not have had as detailed an understanding of nature as we do, but they understood things a lot more than what most people give them credit for, and in some ways they may have understood the world better than we do since they weren't blinded by the hubris of "science".
Same brain sizes. It’s only been 2000 years, not enough time for significant evolutionary changes in humans. Any society before cell phones was more observant than people today.
@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116 Natural selection and evolution are polar opposites of each other. Natural selection can only remove already existing traits, it cannot produce new ones. The very idea of evolution is utterly absurd. In order for evolution to come about through natural selection, you would have had to start with some super creature containing all of the possible genetic diversity of every type of organism on the Earth. Of everything the human race has learned, evolution should have been considered debunked long ago. The only problem is, if you get rid of evolution as the theory behind the origin of life, you have to replace it with something, and people hate the alternative so much that they would rather believe a flimsy lie than come to the knowledge of the truth.
@@اسكندرفكار Except that people in ancient times constructed wonders with precise alignments to the constellations, which proves that they were not only highly intelligent, but also highly capable.

I love the little speech at the end of the videos: Animals are complex beings. Maybe not like us, but enough to know that no animal is fully black and white!
When I saw this video I almost scrolled passed it because I've heard you talk about dolphins before, but when I saw that it was uploaded today..... "Oh boy he's got new material!"
The “porpoisely” pun was delivered spot on. Also really appreciate you reminding people that they are wild animals trying to survive, not angels or devils, just animals.
I think what makes dolphins misbehaving seem worse is that they might be smart enough to know what they're doing while most animals probably don't understand. Also, the wolves getting a bad rap is because they eat livestock. This is a huge problem if you depend on your livestock to survive.
The problem is that yes, maiby some animals are smart enough to know what they are doning, BUT when life is a constant battle of survival everything is game, because in the end everything that can favor you is a 3000 qi move. Plus I get the wolf think but what we did to wolf is the equivalent of an olocaust for basicaly destroing a couple of house
@@spinadosantos3541 I don’t think killing animals can be compared to killing humans. It’s more like what all predators do. When my dad was a kid there were foxes here. Coyotes moved in and drove the foxes to local extinction. Wolves will do the same to coyotes and humans do the same to wolves. We’re acting like the coyotes and eliminating predators that compete for the same resources as us. Also, remember back when the wolves were wiped out, life expectancy for humans was much lower, so we were also fighting to survive, especially those on the frontier that were coming into contact with wolves.
Animals are animals, nothing more. We must cheer the moments of cuteness ans hapinness, but never forget they're a on but one moment from feeding on your guts.

@@BrokensoulRider that's not exactly true. Cetaceans have been observed helping completely different species for seemingly no practical reasons, humpback whales in particular
@@BrokensoulRider I don't believe they don't have empathy. They wouldn't rescue humans (and other species) or bring us gifts (during lockdown dolphins brought gifts to the beach because they missed humans and thought they could bribe us back to the beach) if they didn't feel empathy. It takes empathy to understand gifts make you happy so maybe they will make the humans happy. They definitely seem to recognize humans as a species they want to relate to on an intelligent level. It's just that the way they relate to other dolphins is often violent and other dolphins can survive it, but humans are just too delicate. Graping females seems horrific to us but the males volunteer to act as female for their friends before they find a female. So that's normal dolphin behavior and they're all willing to do it. And the female can generally survive it. Humans can't though which is something a rowdy young male dolphin might forget. They definitely lack empathy for some specific species, like pufferfish, but I'd argue humans do that too. We categorize animals as animals that are okay to eat and ones that aren't. And further back in the past people didn't care too much if animals meant for consumption were treated poorly because they thought animals didn't have feelings or 'souls'. It took a lot of effort by a lot of people to normalize not mistreating food animals. Maybe there's a puffer activist dolphin somewhere we don't know about. LOL.
I'm really glad you threw in some whoelsome facts at the end. Not just because it cleanses my brain after the not-so-fun facts, but you were really spot on with the "Disney vs Hellspawn" analogy. It's so easy to label an entire species as one or the other, but even animals are more nuanced than that and don't deserve to be hated for something we as humans find appalling. I think it is absolutely good to have a healthy fear of animals and be wary of them, but its also good to remember the wholesome things they do and not let fear cloud our judgment into wiping them all out. At the end of the day, we should allow ourselves to be educated on animals, and that includes BOTH sides of the coin. Animals(including dolphins and chimps) aren't evil. They're complex and deserve our understanding.

In regards to your remarks about duality, this is the way I see it. Intelligent animals like dolphins and elephants are a lot like humans, in that there are a lot of good and bad apples. Trying to generalize a population of millions or perhaps billions into a single "good or evil" verdict would be foolish. That's what I think, anyways
1 Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? neither the sexually immoral,nor idolaters,nor adulterers, nor who practice homosexuality. Ephesians 4:29 Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. Exodus 20:7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. 1 John 4:7-10 - 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Matthew 7:1 NIVUK 7 ‘Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
On the bright side, dolphins don't seem to randomly fuck with humans out of the blue if they don't come in contact with them much. Source: swam in the water with dolphins in the distance often with no issues. What's significant is that the beach had no record of humans intentionally interacting with dolphins.

Ok... humans are animals too. Maybe we should just brush it off when humans rape each other like we do with dolphins. It's in male humans nature to have really strong sex drive, just like male dolphins. Infanticide and rape are natural occurrences throughout basically the entire animal kingdom. We made up some rules in human society and enforced them to prevent this behavior... But that is indeed our nature as well.
The fact that dolphins can have that sweet side to them is part of what makes them so unsettling. If they were just strictly evil, they'd be easy to read. But since animals are more amoral than anything, it's just best to avoid getting too comfortable around them. It's kind of like working in child care while knowing that the kids will one day be adults, and there's no way to really tell if they ultimately grow up to be good samaritans, or absolute menaces to society.

We can all get along okay, but everybody gotta put some work in to raise the bar. It's always easier with support, so be that for others when you can, even a wild animal you may never see again.

@@haroldotrotter9148 Sharks don't really have the intelligence to do it out of malice or fun though. they do it because instinct says kill and eat that thing or kill that thing to protect yourself. It's really different because of how smart the dolphin is and it still chooses to do these things.
i think part of the reason why some people get so pressed about dolphins or chimpanzees or the like "being evil" is because humans tend to equate intelligence with morality. to realize that some of the most intelligent animals on the planet commit some of the same atrocities as humans raises some questions about the nature of intelligence that a lot of people don't want to examine. that and it's a reminder that we ourselves really are just animals and that the dividing line between "animal" and "human" is a lot thinner than we care to admit.
There is no dividing line.
Aren't morality and ethics just agreed upon rulesets in societies? -> They ahve that too, but they are not the same as ours. (heck we humans do not agree to the 100% same ethical/moral rulesets.)
And the funny thing is, the truth is the opposite of that. Intelligen usually breeds cruelty, morality come waaayyy latter
@@nirfz No. Morality and ethics have a genetic root. And you can't excuse r*pe and sadism based on "tHeIr mOrAlS aRe dIfErEnT" You wouldn't excuse N*zis of massacring children because "they were indoctrinated"

The joy of hearing someone recite my favourite elephant story, the one about them returning yearly to mourn their caretaker. So beautiful.
I used to work for a parrot rescue. A lot of people assume the more intelligent an animal is, the better... but something we would always warn prospective parrot parents of was this: the more intelligent an animal is, the more easily bored they are, and the more stimulation they need from their environment.
When it comes to smarts, Dolphins are a big fish in a small pond...everything around them is basically just a lego block to them.
Just like humans. Bored humans can create people who either torture themselves to feel something... or torture other beings to feel something.
This is exactly why I tell people that they don't want a smart pet, they want a kind, affectionate, and simple pet.
Yeah and no bedtime.

A CLASSIC EPISODE!
In marine science, my professor always told us:
If your boat is sinking and there’s a pod of dolphins on one side and a school of sharks on the other side, jump into the sharks
🗿
May I know what’s the reasoning behind your professor’s statement?
Still sounds like a pretty stupid decision ... i guess his reasoning is they only kill and eat you while the dolphins could do worse. But they also could save you and that option no matter how small is not there with the sharks. And that sounds like a stupid decision and something he actually wouldn`t do. Its a bit like the stupid claim that a women would rather be alone with a random bear than with a random man. And yes a lot of women actually say that ... but in reality if a women encounters a stranger and a bear in the wild she will hide behind the stranger to get away from the bear. And not the other way around. Your Profs claim is the same!
This feels like the bear vs man question. The worst bear & shark can do, is bite and kill you. The worst man & dolphin can do? Yeah, I'm afraid just thinking about it...

it's facinating you bring up that last part, indeed, people need to stop seeing animals either through a disney lens or as monsters. They need to recognize that animals are animals, just like people, animals of all varieties are capable of doing both good and bad things towards eachother, it's only a matter of life that certain things apear the way they do because of how different animals need to do things to survive.
I'm 100% sure that trying to bone humans and other non-dolphin animals is not a means for survival
Finally. Someone with actual common sense.
Thanks Mr Genocide
I keep telling people to leave wild animals alone and stop putting human values on them and they get mad. Came across way too many people who look at animals with a Disney lens
It's surprisingly hard to find people who don't want to reduce something to one aspect that they can then adhere to or dismiss without thinking too deeply ;:l
one thing i love about you is that regardless of your own opinions, you acknowledge that other animals can't really be held to the same moral standards as humans. Regardless of if an animal is widely hated or loved, you make people aware of both sides of things. A reminder that morality is actually something that isn't really considered by nature. Morality is essentially a spectrum based purely in perception. What may be considered good by one's standards can be completely evil by another.
Nature isn't designed with the average human's moral standards in mind. It's based purely in whatever manages to not die. Humans are too quick to forget that not everything revolves around them.

Yeah you're right but they're still awful
You're legit the best at writing and telling stories! Your research is impeccable.
“They could if they would, and we can and we have” is such a humbling sentiment. Whether you believe humans are blessed by a god or were a happy accident of natural selection, I feel we are so privileged to be aware of ourselves to the degree we are. At the end of the day, we’re just animals too, each of us trying to make it as best we can. That doesn’t excuse the harm we sometimes cause to each other and the world around us but we have the intelligence to UNDERSTAND that and can CHOOSE to not cause harm when possible, y’know?
When you said "we're just animals too" you hit the biggest truth.
Plenty of animals also have the intelligence, and communication, and social behaviors, to also know the difference. To similar levels as us before we had technology and advanced languages.
Every functional Human group knows that murder is wrong (though that's a chicken & egg problem). When our groups get large enough we make laws, and "random murder = illegal" is reliably among the first laws. But that law never stops random murder from being a problem in any society. Ethical consensus never stops the nasty exception from popping up. The murderer knows murder is wrong too, but that didn't stop them. Creatures are driven by urges and impulses, often contradicting their own better judgment. I mean... I just stayed up until 2 AM eating Halloween candy, and I knew it was a bad move while I was doing it.
I have a hard time believing that chimps, crows, dogs, or dolphins are much different. We may be more sophisticated overall, with fancy language and technology, but that's really our only difference. Looking at a model of our ethics, we're just another warm blooded tetrapod.
I deeply feel like that's not where this argument should end? Like, yes, we're all animals, but to act like the perpetrators of all this violence, esp s-xual, aren't significantly mostly men is ignoring a big part of this fact. Plus, acting like it's alright bc they're just animals _just like us_, like, do you see the train of thought that's going for????
Now ofc I'm not saying that therefore judging animals by human standards is the right thing to do, but I'm definetly saying you can't normalize it just being a fact of life, or things like grape being, even interspecies, being biology- the amount of ppl I've seen using that as justification is dangerous. And to borderline confirm that, is dangerous.
Idk, just saying.
@, you make a good point, and I’d like to clarify that while the fact that human beings are animals might EXPLAIN our behaviors, it does not EXCUSE them. As I mentioned, human beings have the capacity to recognize when our actions may, can, will, and do cause harm. And I believe that humans have a responsibility to ourselves, to each other, and to the world we live in, to try and cause as little harm as we can, but that’s my SUBJECTIVE moral opinion.
And that’s the uncomfortable truth: morality IS subjective. Morality is a social construct, a complicated tapestry woven together from innumerable factors including lived experiences, personal responsibilities, the environment you inhabit, social pressures and societal expectations, and probably the most uncomfortable part: morality is flexible. Morals CHANGE over time. And unfortunately, morals don’t always prevent harm. People throughout history and even today have done terrible things in service to their morals. It’s not that they’re ignorant of the harm their actions are causing, but that they can justify that harm THROUGH their morals.
According to well regarding anthropological studies, we have, through tracing mitochondria in human beings back far enough, discovered that it is incredibly likely that all human beings alive right now are directly related to a single woman from around 100 to 230 thousand years ago. Everyone currently alive right now are literally all cousins, family (in many cultures to cause harm to a member of your own family is the most horrible of social taboos) and yet we do the most awful shit to each other for basically any reason you can imagine. And that’s the scary part: reason. Reason is the most potent survival strategy humans have developed and I don’t think I need to explain why.
To summarize: human beings are animals. That is an objective fact of life. However, we are privileged in our understand of ourselves and the world around us, and are responsible to treat each other and our world well, but we don’t. The myriad of evolutionary adaptations we’ve developed over millions of years not only help us survive and thrive, but also help us do awful things to each other by justifying those actions to ourselves and to our larger societies. As humans continue to become interconnected, the metrics by which we separate ourselves from each other will slowly trend closer and closer but there will be extreme anti-unity reactions and people will find new justifications to do awful things in service of their reasoning. Eventually, humanity may mostly come together, pool our resources, and really start being able to realize our true potential to affect the universe we inhabit, but if we’re not careful, we’ll kill each other before we ever get there.
@@Anthintendohonestly, I am not a religious knucklehead, but this violent clash between our nature and our attempts to establish law and morality is my biggest proof that something interfered with our evolution at some point. Think about it, nearly every rule and norm the Western society tries to enforce today goes directly against our nature. For example, we are polygamous animals, who desperately try to be monogamous because it's more convenient. I don't if it was God or aliens, but something has definitely put a piece of its own otherworldly nature into ours.
@@firefly6882 Just saying it will never go away. Not saying it's acceptable.
Pretending we're "better" is the kind of mistake that makes us complacent, and naive.
Instead we should own the harsh truth, and be vigilant. There will always be monsters among us, and even a bit of a monster within each of us. Dont fool yourself, be careful and aware instead.
You know how some people think that all animals are below them?
I feel like dolphins think that too.
Maybe my tastes r childish but I feel like dolphins are ornery & just simply don't know better. Bc they're animals. Or maybe I'm completely off & they do know what's right and wrong? 🤔🤷🏻♀️. I just imagine them doing bratty things & laughing about it. Only it sounds innocent & they know it does. Kinda like when my toddler channels her inner wever ha haaa character that was on the simpsons. I don't want to be near dolphins tho. Unless there's sharks around
Yeah, interestingly a study found that dolphins gain self awareness younger than humans. It doesn't mean they are smarter than us, but they are self absorbed like us perhaps without the capacity for empathy or something. They are like children that think they're the center of the universe.
I think to some extent they recognize that humans are about as smart as them, but they don't realize how fragile we are by comparison despite us looking like fleshy stick bugs
@@ahhwe-any7434 Dolphins brains are not only bigger than humans but also denser and more complex.

Part of the learning curve of conservation is realizing that animals are just animals and it’s detrimental to anthropomorphize them. You have to separate how you feel about certain animals and keep in mind that all animals are struggling to survive, have their own behaviors, and are not beholden to our standards of “good” “evil” or “deserving.” Most wild animals want nothing to do with humans but people are constantly forcing interactions. Conservation should never be about what animals can do for you, it should be about what you can do for animals/nature. Only advocating for “cute” and “harmless” animals does nothing to help the overall ecosystem or prevent the human destruction of environments. I appreciate CG taking the time at the end of the video to remind people that dolphins and other creatures are simply animals and to not view them through evil or disney-fied glasses.
That said, those of us who don't want to go anywhere near strange animals should be allowed to do so. I personally want nothing to do with most animals, unless they've proven themselves as allies. ie stray cats and other local friendlies. While its not good to Disnify animals, its fine to pick and choose which ones to spend energy on based on whether they display good behavior or not. Hell, I treat humans the same way.
@@awakenow7147that’s just normal buddy, wild animals aren’t “allies” and shouldn’t be pets or “friends” to humans, ur just saying “i want a domesticated animal because they’re literally bred for human companionship” which is just like??? yea girl go off no one disagrees with that.
u shouldn’t think about wild animals as anything other than animals, it doesn’t matter if u want to interact with them or not that thought process is harmful and wrong.
@@awakenow7147 I am not at all saying people need to be forced to interact with animals, wild or domesticated, but you have to understand that there is going to be continued human-animal interactions as humans develop land and wild animals adapt into urban animals. People are more and more becoming aware of urban animals but aren’t educated enough on how to handle interactions, so you have a mixed bag of people feeding urban animals or killing them. Coyotes and deer are prime examples of urban animals rising in population, and I think as humans it’s our responsibility to navigate problems that can arise from it. That’s also why I included that we have to separate the ideas of “deserving” animals in conservation. We can’t just advocate for animals we think ‘deserve’ to be helped. Insects and other bug species are becoming extinct at an alarming rate, but I barely see conservation efforts for them besides the monarch butterfly. Conservation is a complex issue, but applying to only things you personally want to protect is ultimately a detrimental and self-centered way of thinking. Conservation is a principle where learning should never stop. You should not need to interact with animals to learn to be compassionate towards them.
Well said!
Seriously, the amount of times people have advocated the death of either a reptile or insect just becuase it ate something they considered cute like a cat or hummingbird is INSANE. Like to most people these days, not being a cute animal is basically a death sentence.

My dad would often swim very far out to try and get interesting underwater photos. He ran into a pod of dolphins in about the same place on two different occasions. No way to know if it was the same pod both times, but it was two very different experiences. The first time they made a little tornado around him, seemingly "protecting" him. Turns out, there was a tiger shark sighting in the area that day that we didn't know about until afterward. The next time, about a week later, the dolphins clicked at him aggressively, and one swam far below him, only to swim very fast towards him. He swam backward and snapped a photo as the dolphin spun directly in front of him, either trying to ram him or ram near him to scare him off. My father smartly swam in the other direction afterward.
Dolphins really do just be dolphins, and their intelligence likely means that, just like people, they're capable of using that intellect for good, for benevolence, as well as for evil and malevolence.
I bet they weren't protecting him from the shark, I bet they were trapping him in case the shark wanted him, who knows what deal they were trying to broker for whatever reason, and the shark declined so they let him go.

I wouldn’t worry. Dolphins haven’t been to a Super Bowl since the original Ghosbusters was released. They’re harmless.
In Greek Mythology dolphins came about when pirates were transformed into sea creatures for trying to get frisky with Dionysius. I think the Ancient Greeks might have been more observant of dolphin behavior than people realize.
The common consensus is that because we have high technology, we are automatically smarter, more observant and more civilized than the people of the past. Of course, another part of the problem is the teaching of Darwinian evolution, which requires that creatures get better at surviving over time. If evolution were true, it only makes sense to view people of the past as less capable, because by definition they are less evolved. If you remove the biases of modern society and take a closer look though, you'll find that not only is humanity the same now as it was thousands of years ago, but if anything our technology makes us *worse* in many ways. That isn't to say that technology itself is bad, but that it allows already wicked human beings to magnify their wickedness all the more.
Those older cultures may not have had as detailed an understanding of nature as we do, but they understood things a lot more than what most people give them credit for, and in some ways they may have understood the world better than we do since they weren't blinded by the hubris of "science".
Same brain sizes. It’s only been 2000 years, not enough time for significant evolutionary changes in humans.

@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116 Natural selection and evolution are polar opposites of each other. Natural selection can only remove already existing traits, it cannot produce new ones. The very idea of evolution is utterly absurd. In order for evolution to come about through natural selection, you would have had to start with some super creature containing all of the possible genetic diversity of every type of organism on the Earth. Of everything the human race has learned, evolution should have been considered debunked long ago. The only problem is, if you get rid of evolution as the theory behind the origin of life, you have to replace it with something, and people hate the alternative so much that they would rather believe a flimsy lie than come to the knowledge of the truth.

@@MarshalMarrs-eu9yhcrocodilians, lizards and snakes are misunderstood (mammals are truly insane lifeforms)
@MarshalMarrs-eu9yh humans are mammals they're super biased. Reptiles are cool you heathens

Once I saw Dolphins in the Thumbnail I knew what I was getting myself into. 😂
"The Dol-Booty Warrior" ahh Thumbnail
I think what makes dolphins misbehaving seem worse is that they might be smart enough to know what they're doing while most animals probably don't understand.
Also, the wolves getting a bad rap is because they eat livestock. This is a huge problem if you depend on your livestock to survive.
The problem is that yes, maiby some animals are smart enough to know what they are doning, BUT when life is a constant battle of survival everything is game, because in the end everything that can favor you is a 3000 qi move. Plus I get the wolf think but what we did to wolf is the equivalent of an olocaust for basicaly destroing a couple of house
@@spinadosantos3541 I don’t think killing animals can be compared to killing humans. It’s more like what all predators do. When my dad was a kid there were foxes here. Coyotes moved in and drove the foxes to local extinction. Wolves will do the same to coyotes and humans do the same to wolves. We’re acting like the coyotes and eliminating predators that compete for the same resources as us.
Also, remember back when the wolves were wiped out, life expectancy for humans was much lower, so we were also fighting to survive, especially those on the frontier that were coming into contact with wolves.
I love your philosophical and spiritually grounded take on life and animals. ❤
Animals are animals, nothing more. We must cheer the moments of cuteness ans hapinness, but never forget they're a on but one moment from feeding on your guts.
Or exploring your guts in some cases.

humans was animals too last time i check on the tree of life... or maybe you are born from a chair?

Dolphins are basically just underwater humans.
I'd argue that they more closely resemble (behaviorally) housecats.
@@Blue-Gold_Crusader not even cats do what they do
@@jr2904 As a rule, no; but outliers do exist.

This sounds more like chimpanzees than humans, even then they're still worse in my opinion.

Dude is the new age Steve Irwin. Favorite video so far. Keep on kicking ass! People forget nature is...well nature.

This man's youtube-friendly descriptions are on a whole other level!
Kudos to you my friend
there are very, very few things that can hold my exclusive attention but your videos are one of them.
Dolphin freak-offs are on a different level! The greatest trick Hollywood ever pulled is making us terrified of sharks, but think that dolphins are defenseless victims who need our protection.
We should be more scared of dolphins tbh 💀
I mean… they definitely need protection from US… considering what we DO to animals that we find worthy of keeping in zoos.
@Pancake_Dragons should be minding your own business and not go near mammals like them anyway, mammals and wild animals are meant to be left alone. Seriously, it should be noted not to get too close to any animal at all, you don't know what they'll do, and it's best you steer clear in not knowing that.
My friend told me that in the 1960s the CIA was experimenting with dolphins to see if they could be used in a military capacity. I never wanted to hear how it ended up

They don’t even need the viagra
@YHWHthe1 "Ohhh, references to the pitch meeting guy are TIGHT!!!!"
What are we even doing here man...
You are truly amazing for that wholesome yet grounded reality check about how we view the animal world in general
I love your videos. They're so well put together and informative.
Growing up is realizing that _SOME_ dolphins really are friendly sea-doggos who don't know any better, while _SOME_ dolphins are really fully-aquatic Dothraki.
And that humans are Mother Nature's estranged delinquent kids who cause problems for literally everyone.
So do people but dolphins are cuter
I’m gonna guess this video has the fact that dolphins have an uh… ‘affinity’ for us more than just friendship.
Humans are nice and helpless in the water... the dolphins know this and lure us closer...
@@Alondro77 What's... sad? interesting? Whatever is that often the dolphin just gets excited and seems to forget we can't hold our breath for s long as them. The assaulting isn't nice, but to a dolphin that's normal play that just becomes an issue because whoops, forgot humans aren't as strong as dolphin. Like leaving a toddler alone with a newborn kitten...
@@prettyevil6662000 They're very intelligent, but not intelligent enough to have empathy for other species.
@@BrokensoulRider that's not exactly true. Cetaceans have been observed helping completely different species for seemingly no practical reasons, humpback whales in particular
@@BrokensoulRider I don't believe they don't have empathy. They wouldn't rescue humans (and other species) or bring us gifts (during lockdown dolphins brought gifts to the beach because they missed humans and thought they could bribe us back to the beach) if they didn't feel empathy. It takes empathy to understand gifts make you happy so maybe they will make the humans happy. They definitely seem to recognize humans as a species they want to relate to on an intelligent level. It's just that the way they relate to other dolphins is often violent and other dolphins can survive it, but humans are just too delicate.
Graping females seems horrific to us but the males volunteer to act as female for their friends before they find a female. So that's normal dolphin behavior and they're all willing to do it. And the female can generally survive it. Humans can't though which is something a rowdy young male dolphin might forget.
They definitely lack empathy for some specific species, like pufferfish, but I'd argue humans do that too. We categorize animals as animals that are okay to eat and ones that aren't. And further back in the past people didn't care too much if animals meant for consumption were treated poorly because they thought animals didn't have feelings or 'souls'. It took a lot of effort by a lot of people to normalize not mistreating food animals. Maybe there's a puffer activist dolphin somewhere we don't know about. LOL.
"Honey, drop whatever you're doing! A new Casual Geographic just dropped!"
The narration is masterful.
Dolphins are like if Glenn Quagmire was a cetacean.
Giggity!

I'm really glad you threw in some whoelsome facts at the end. Not just because it cleanses my brain after the not-so-fun facts, but you were really spot on with the "Disney vs Hellspawn" analogy. It's so easy to label an entire species as one or the other, but even animals are more nuanced than that and don't deserve to be hated for something we as humans find appalling.
I think it is absolutely good to have a healthy fear of animals and be wary of them, but its also good to remember the wholesome things they do and not let fear cloud our judgment into wiping them all out.
At the end of the day, we should allow ourselves to be educated on animals, and that includes BOTH sides of the coin. Animals(including dolphins and chimps) aren't evil. They're complex and deserve our understanding.
You're incredible, keep making content!
Brooo...5:51 was diabolical! "Sea Diddys"😂

Honestly, Orcas terrify me in the fact that they can break entire ice sheets just by swimming under them.
I just love that Under Cover of Night plays in the background. Halo CE soundtrack works with everything.

I’ve seen them on “ search & destroy “ in the Indian River Lagoon “. All those terrified fish leaping out of the water helplessly trying to escape a gang of well organized intelligent predators.
"Porpoisely committing acts of war"😂😂
Dude, you have the best jokes.
You can't assign human traits to animals... but dolphins REALLY put that to the test.
Dogs would put that to the test also.
Many animals do. But I ate that people are out here moralizing other animal's behavior when we are the lost capable of the worst of the worst. Anyone who says otherwise is lucky to be that naive.
@@amicableenmity9820I mean grape and murdering babies is about as bad as it gets. Unfortunately, humans just have the capability/means to commit horrible acts more efficiently than any other animal.
Dolphins dont have the same consciousness as humans
@@OfficialSinViolinthey 100% do. They get high on pufferfish for fun and kill sharks for fun and bounce around baby whales like volleyball for fun
I really like the way you show both sides of the coin. In the end, while extremely inteligent, they are still just doing what comes naturally and we can´t really hold it against them. That said, they still creep the hell out of me :D

13:10 dolphins are highly emotional.
Considering how Peter the dolphin chose to forget dolphins need to occasionally swim to the surface for air after his human girlfriend left him. Yeah, I too would say they can be emotional.
I’m only a minute and a half in and I’ve had to pause and cackle twice because of your lexicon and I’m now starting over to appreciate it harder. The script on this one is top tier, my dude.
I just wanted to say, your channel single-handedly crushed all my childhood bonding with animal dreams, keep up the good work 👍
Thumbnail was amusing. I laughed at that reference to the booty warrior
In regards to your remarks about duality, this is the way I see it.
Intelligent animals like dolphins and elephants are a lot like humans, in that there are a lot of good and bad apples. Trying to generalize a population of millions or perhaps billions into a single "good or evil" verdict would be foolish.
That's what I think, anyways
Dolphins are what people think sharks are
1 Corinthians 6:9
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? neither the sexually immoral,nor idolaters,nor adulterers, nor who practice homosexuality.

Yeah, that just gives me another reason to avoid the ocean. Those demons can stay right where they are.
On the bright side, dolphins don't seem to randomly fuck with humans out of the blue if they don't come in contact with them much. Source: swam in the water with dolphins in the distance often with no issues. What's significant is that the beach had no record of humans intentionally interacting with dolphins.
No, they're not demons. They're dolphins. Have you not been listening?
Tell that to Hank hill
At the end with the dog , after hearing all rhis, i found my self thinking ..wonder what that dolphin is thinking? 😂
Fantastic video as always. The Casual Geographic Halloween Special has become something I look forward to every year.
