>>36072815Yeah, I didn't mean it's the fault of the orcas. Just now I get sad and disturbed thinking about them being in captivity and bonding with humans then killing them.
There are some nice stories about dolphins and whales in New Zealand though. We had this famous dolphin called Pelorus Jack in the 1800-1900s who used to help ships through dangerous parts of the channel and people would wait for it to show up before crossing. :') it was a Risso's dolphin, they are super duper cutie!!
"When the members of the crew saw the dolphin bobbing up and down in front of the ship, they wanted to kill him, but the captain’s wife talked them out of it. To their amazement, the dolphin then proceeded to guide the ship through the narrow channel. And for years thereafter, he safely guided almost every ship that came by. With rocks and strong currents, the area is dangerous to ships, but no shipwrecks occurred when Jack was present."
And in the area it was in, there's a lot of glowing algae that lights up like glow-worms when moved, so the sea would be dark but when Pelorus Jack showed up speeding through the water, its body and the trail behind it would SPARKLE LIKE STARS!! Like it was swimming through the universe. :')
Once someone tried to shoot it from a boat called the SS Penguin and it still helped boats pass through the channel afterwards! It stopped helping the SS Penguin though and the Penguin ended up shipwrecked. Lmao what a beautiful tale of revenge.
