Have you ever seen an animal try to show there tail, a trick that were thought by their traners. But its too late, this event has already been seen in other places, Until now and, you will be amazed to know how the skill was found.
It was found by Dr. Mike Bossley who is a researcher at the "Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society", who has been looking at the playful happy "Adelaide Port River" dolphins for a lot of years, he said it all started with Billie who is a 23 year-old adult dolphin.
About five years ago he had saw the dolphin tail walking. When he saw that happen only once or twice in his whole 22-year career, he started to watch her more often, and also he was examening her more carefully. To his surprise, she soon was joined by wave that is another female adult dolphin. However, Wave seemed to enjoy it so much that she started doing it too about once a day. And now it even gets better, five years later, four other dolphins have learned to walk backwards on their tails.

Reflection:
I think that this is really amazing and interesting. I actually never thought that animals can sometimes be really smart, Even though sometimes they are not as much. But I can't believe that a dolphin actually learned to do that just by watching their trainer teach another dolphin, and then it tries to teach other dolphins to.

I also think that it is amazing that the dolphin learned how to do it just by watching a trainer. That just shows that dolphins are really intelligent. I think that the youtube video was very interesting. Was the dolphin learning how to do the trick?

Dolphins are amazing mammals. I will never forget my experience of swimming with a dolphin in Florida. I hope you will have a chance one day to do that too.
