Hay Piggies! It's Dolphin Appreciation Day! 🐹 💙 💙 💙 🌊 🌊 🌊 🐬 🐬 🐬 🥕

It is no wonder humans (and piggies if they really thought about it) are fascinated with these intelligent, social animals!

From Pelorus Jack, who guided ships through dangerous New Zealand waters and became one of the first protected marine animals, to Opo, the playful dolphin who befriended an entire seaside town—dolphins have a way of forming unforgettable connections with humans!

There are even accounts of dolphins protecting swimmers from sharks, and in more modern settings, working alongside organizations like the United States Navy using their natural sonar abilities. And of course, many remember the beloved vintage TV series Flipper, it's memorable theme song, and its star Mitzi the Dolphin, who brought dolphin intelligence and charm into homes around the world!

Respect and protect these wonderful creatures!

Wheek! Wheek!
