On TikTok I saw a man drop is cellphone into the water. A watching Beluga promptly swam over, picked up in his mouth and delivered to him. It was amazing.
The animal clearly saw the man drop the item, but also seemed to be aware of the man's inability to fetch it, and that perhaps it was a 'possession' of some kind.
It seems ver reasonable to me that mammals have emotions, memories, and rational emotional response. If they were 'hurt' by a boat it seems super rational to me that they would be angered by or dislike boats. I suspect they are aware 'boats do fishing' and can directly correlate their hunger to the boats.
I don't know why this isn't the first response, and is considered 'unscientific' in the article.

- kilroy123 6y agoThis is going to sound crazy but I've been in the water and looked a dolphin right in the eye from about a meter away. I'm taking out in the middle of the ocean. I could definitely sense this from the animal. So I definitely think they have emotions and much more intelligence than people give them credit for.
