The sea is a magical world that holds many secrets in its depths. But sometimes, behind this innocent appearance, there are also scary creatures! This is where our cute dolphins come into play. Yes, yes, I am talking about those cheerful, jumping dolphins that dance on the surface of the water. But have you ever thought how scary creatures they can be?


Dolphins generally look like they fell from heaven; however, behind these cute faces, they are also very intelligent and brave animals. After all, although they are known as the “cute faces” of the seas, their world is actually quite harsh. All the claims started with rumors on the TikTok platform that a woman was raped and killed by dolphins while surfing and her body was dismembered. Researchers who read these reached some old news. Especially those who saw dolphins harassing female audiences in shows at animal parks started to label these fish as rapists.


Their Mastery of Communication

Dolphins are also known for being intelligent creatures. Their underwater communication is sometimes too complex for humans to grasp. This is where their fun side comes in. If a dolphin says to another dolphin, “Hi! Are we going to hunt today?” while singing and dancing, pay attention! The fish are probably shouting “We’re here!” right next to it.


The Real Face of Dolphins

Dolphins are known for their playful and social creatures, but also for their hunting skills. When they chase fish, they don’t look innocent at all. They swim as if to say, “You think I’m cute, but I’m hunting here!” Sometimes we have to remember that even the cutest animals can be hunters.


In addition, the social structure among dolphins is also quite interesting. These creatures, who exhibit strong solidarity within their groups, do not hesitate to help each other when necessary. But be careful, they do not hesitate to step on anyone in the group! In other words, the social life of those beautiful dolphins can actually turn into a sea drama.

Can They Be Scary?

It may seem a little strange to think of dolphins as fearsome creatures, but after all, every creature has a warrior side. Who knows, maybe there are more fearsome creatures in the depths of the sea; but dolphins do not hesitate to defeat them. In other words, dolphins also have an instinct to protect their own borders. We need to know them not only with their cute faces, but also with their powerful hunter sides.




Because of all these images and rumors, a smear campaign against dolphins has been launched. But is the truth as it seems?


They Are Truly Horny Creatures, But What About Us?

Contrary to what is said, dolphins are not rapists. If we consider that animals do not have a will, we can easily say that they are not trying to rape, but to mate. However, our topic will go to different points. The greatest harm to this world has always been done by humans. According to the news in The Nation in 2011, blind dolphins live in the regions of India and Pakistan and are a very rare species specific to this region. In this region, it was determined that blind dolphins, also known as Ganges River Dolphins, were killed and then raped and thrown into the Indus River. This triggered researchers to believe that this could be a Sindhi tradition. An awareness campaign was even started here. An article published on the subject wrote the following horrific statements: "The locals compare the dolphins' genitals to women's genitals and although the local people are aware of this tradition, they do not dare or do not want to condemn it because it is a deep-rooted tradition in the region and is widely practiced." In addition, this endangered species is not actually blind and cannot use its vision due to the polluted water. These river dolphins are an endangered species due to threats such as habitat loss, pollution and overfishing. Their numbers have decreased significantly worldwide and they have been put under protection. Therefore, blind dolphins are considered rare and various projects are being carried out for their protection.

This is not all that humanity has done. Of all the animals that are subjected to psychological and physical violence in zoos and circuses that are torn from their natural habitats, dolphins are one of the most abused species. No matter how dangerous and wild they are, they will never be able to do to us what we do to them.




Conclusion

If we said they are the fearsome creatures of the sea, we were also making a bit of a bitter joke. Dolphins are wonderful creatures filled with the joy and courage of the sea. Their world is both scary and fascinating! Maybe that's why when we go to the beach to watch them, a hope awakens inside us: "Maybe the sea will awaken the dolphin inside me!"


Remember, although they may look cute, dolphins also live their own lives and as a sea warrior, sometimes things may not go as we expect. But that doesn't stop them from being the real fearsome creatures of the sea!


Finally, I invite you to be conscious so that animals can always live freely in their natural habitats and to protect the creatures that are in danger of extinction. Do not go to circuses or zoos. Get a cat for your home and a dog for your garden. Do not let these animals drag themselves around on the streets any longer and do not believe the lies of the food lobby that they can become stray animals. Show the same sensitivity not only to animals but also to plants that are under threat and stay healthy.
