Where? As far as I know breeding cetaceans in captivity it's really difficult along side of just keeping the adults alive. I'm not talking Blackfish shit either.

Makes me wonder if you could just fence off part of the ocean and keep them there.

I think that is the "conservation effort" they are talking about.

Similar to how the Monterey Bay Aquarium finally managed to successfully keep a great white shark in captivity.

Nips do it to slaughter dolphins, I'm sure people can do it to breed them

>>2271924
Those dolphins probably couldn't do well in wild if released. Like a captive mink bred for fur.

95% of all birds. I never paid attention to them before, just casually acknowledged them to be some black or dark brown blob flying through the sky and left it at that. I didn't get into birds until this summer and was amazed to learn there are 10,514 kinds, let alone hundreds where I live locally. I just assumed I kept seeing the same 5 or so over and over again. I thought all seagulls were just one species for example.

>>2272087
That's actually a Coati. "mexican raccoon" is not a species.

>>2271924
>Nips do it to slaughter dolphins
Do they just hate dolphins or something?
Would think they'd get along, both being rape machines and all.
