Of the millions of creatures that share the earth with us, few are more beloved than the dolphins. Throughout history, dolphins have played a significent role in shaping our philosophy and helping us to better understand and appreciate the natural world. Dolphins have unknowingly becomesymbols of concern for the environment, and their joyous lifestyle, centered on friendships within their complex social structure, is something to be admired and emulated.
