Environment be damned or don’t be damned. Because you like them or because you don’t like your neighbors … what animals would you like to see locally that are not there ?

    They’re not anywhere near my favorite animal, but if dolphins could survive in freshwater, it would be interesting to hear about all the interactions people have with them near me considering people have re-learned they have a language, even if it’s more like 50,000-BCE-human-levels of communication. If any were integrated, I wouldn’t mind going the extra mile to treat them as anyone else and anticipate them showing up.

        Yeah but I mean bottlenose ones. They’re the ones which are being studied, the other species are to bottlenose dolphins what other apes are to humans. If you put a bottlenose dolphin in freshwater, they get all wrinkly before dying due to saltwater having the chemical properties they need.
