Of the five main senses, sight, taste, smell, touch and hearing, Dolphins are thought not to have the sense of smell. Why do we humans care?
Let’s suppose for a moment that you are working out at the gym and as so often happens to us all, the endorphins start to flow and we get lost in a “workout high” causing us to lose track of time. We have an important appointment for which we can’t be late, but have no time to shower. Problem? Not if your appointment is to swim with the dolphins! Go ahead, skip the shower. They will not know the difference.

Editor’s Note: Never one to avoid controversy we tackle this ethical dilemma. Many believe swimming with captive dolphins is a cruel act. Dolphins used in “swim with” programs are usually kept hungry so that they are forced to interact with tourists. Another school of thought is that the handlers only withhold food from dolphins that are showing signs of weight gain; a humanitarian act to insure these aquatic mammals remain attractive to the opposite sex.
