There’s a little article on a Hawaiian dolphin, the “false killer whale,” in Science this week. When one catches a fish, he or she takes a bite and passes it on to a podmate. This food sharing is so important that they will share their catch with humans who happen to be nearby. The article quotes a scientist who was given half a tuna by a false killer whale while diving. He politely passed it back and the dolphin took a bite and passed it on. The diver called it a “magical moment.”

Amy,

To the extent that you need any further convincing about sea mammals in captivity, see a documentary called The Cove. It is about the harvesting of dolphins in Japan. The best ones are culled for use in Sea World-type water shows and can fetch prices in excess of $100,000. The rest…. Not for the faint of heart.

Thanks for explaining BEQ’s theme. With a couple of exceptional crossings, I found that the toughest part of the puzzle!
