Dear William; Well honey its been 9 days I have been down here in the submersible, I’m studying the dolphins this month. I wish you were here to see them all interacting, its just amazing. They dont seem to be bothered with my presence anymore. Ive been studying these beautiful creatures daily and the team wants to test their certain abilities and game behavior. We placed large cubed objects on the floor of the ocean to which they could be tested for long extended periods of time. It didnt take long until they did accept the objects, or even the lights going on when they entered them. Our little friends appeared to love this one in front of me the most and are joyously entertaining themselves daily with little games like, who can could turn through the cube the quickest. The elders are less likely to join in but remain near by. Perhaps their knowledge of such non sea elements are considered a breach of territory or considered a possible threat. Well I better get back to work….Talk soon! . . . Journal Entry: June 12th, 2012 Day 9…. Quadrant 8 Subjects: Ling’s Pod Time: 2:34pm Grouping: Ling’s pod has remained since dropping the cubes. No other pods have appeared. Territorial Issues: Ling appears watchful of outside interference, even small fish Flashing Light Reactions: Adults still unsettled, young adults intriqued Gaming: The young adults appear most engaged while others try but end quickly, still unsure why Emotional Stress: None at this time Time of Cubing Interactions: Mostly between 10am & 4:40pm, seems feeding schedules counter the play activity. ©2007 Lisa C.
