[quote:Balloons:MV8yMTQzODI1XzM2MjE4ODYwXzk4MjY0MTBB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1767782:MV8yMTQzODI1XzM2MjE3Mzc2XzNDNjgyQUM5] "'They’re definitely social animals, they stick together in small groups. But sometimes, the schools come together,' marine expert Sarah Wilkin told NBC." Even if we assume that the average pod size is maxed for each group at 200 dolphins per pod, that would be 5,000+ pods or "schools" coming together. Waaaaay more than just a few and what should be statistically normal. What are the chances of 5,000+ separate pods all finding each other and joining?? 10 billion to 1? This just highlights that researchers truly don't know anything about what is going on, especially if they think this is just 'chance' that all 5,000 came together. On a side note, this is the second display of this proportion, as a similar event had happened about the same time/month as last year. [/quote] How do you think birds find together :wink: [/quote]

Mr Dutra, who captains Hornblower Cruises, was out on his daily tour with a boat full of nature watchers when he spotted the massive group of dolphins.
