  • Hey, I read something really interesting: dolphins can cooperate with humans to catch fish!
  • How can animals cooperate with humans? Can you explain more about it?
  • 3
    Sure. In Laguna, Brazil, dolphins have been working with humans to catch mullet fish for over 130 years.
  • 4
    Wow, that’s a long-standing tradition!
  • 5
    Yes, it is. When the mullets appear, the dolphins drive the fish towards the coast, and the fishers wait for a specific sign, such as a deep dive.
  • 6
    So I guess it’s necessary to learn the dolphins’ behaviors for the fishers to cast their nets at the right time.
  • You’re right, and that’s also when the dolphins get their treats. Don’t you think it’s a beautiful example of cooperation between different species?
