<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > the more "animal" the more affectionate</h1>
What day is it? Tell me out loud!
Tanabata Valentine's Day! Of course we have to talk about love. But today, we are not talking about ordinary couples, but "animals".
It's just that the "beast" we want to talk about today is not the "beast" that we call "thin feelings, negative hearts, and moral corruption" every day, but the "affectionate big guys" in the animal world who have a cute appearance but are unswerving in love to death in nature.
In China, we practice monogamy. In the animal kingdom, there are also white-headed old people, for example, swans are rare couples in the animal world, but scientists have found that they are similar to us humans, they will lie, they will run away from home, and even divorce. Of the 5,000 species of mammals, only 3-5% of them will be together for a lifetime.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > birds</h1>
In the animal world, there is no greater loyalty to love than birds, and most birds, once in love, are like glue, white heads and old age.
mandarin duck
Chinese when it comes to affectionate animals, many people may think of Mandarin Ducks, think of Mandarin Ducks playing in the water on The Red Tent of Hippa, think of "Mandarin Ducks Flying Around the Necks", think of "Mandarin Ducks Under the Moon Before Flowers", think of "Willing to be Mandarin Ducks And Not Envy Immortals".
However, after the Mandarin ducks mate, the male birds will leave, and the incubation and brooding are completed by the female birds, and the "affection" and "love" seem to be a little far away from the Mandarin ducks.
albatross
In Western countries, animals that represent love and companionship are none other than albatrosses.
Albatrosses are lonely birds, and it seems magical that they will choose to meet.
A newly hatched albatross chick will stay alone in the nest for about 9 months, with no siblings, and even the parents will only occasionally fly back to feed them. When one day, it thinks the time has come, it will stand up and shake its wings that have never been used before, and fly alone to the vast southern ocean, which is 5 years.
By the time they are 6 years old, they fly back to the island where they were born in search of a mate. Albatrosses do not have the concept of love at first sight, and their courtship relies on dancing: young albatrosses form groups of dance partners, learn from each other and explore dance steps. Over time, their circles become smaller and smaller until only one dance partner remains, a process that takes 2-8 years.
After this, the two birds became companions until they died.
The albatross is the most respectful living being in the world.
Albatrosses spend more than 90% of their lives adrift at sea, but they don't fly together—a little bad weather on the vast sea is enough to keep both sides separated, and it takes too much time and effort to find each other.
So for albatrosses, after laying eggs, one is responsible for incubating the eggs, and the other bird goes to the sea to feed, exchanging regularly; after the young birds break their shells, the two birds forage according to their respective schedules and rarely meet in the nest, even so, they only recognize one home in their lives.
Every breeding season, albatrosses return to their birthplace on time. Singles look for a spouse, married people wait for the other half to return.
This wait can be as short as a few days or as long as a few months, but no matter how long it takes, the two birds that have not seen each other for a long time will always return to each other on time and spend fifty years like this.
Even in the face of the instinct to reproduce, or the temptation of many young people of the opposite sex, they are always as firm as ever: they are willing to have one heart, and the white head is not separated.
The long-lost albatrosses spread their wings, comb their hair, and grind their ears. Talk to each other about the places they have been in the past year, what they have seen and heard, and what they miss each other when they fly alone in the vast sea.
Having seen the albatross of the world, and knowing better what love is, I dare to "break up" with you, which is the real courage.
Loyalty to one's partner, reverence for freedom, and adherence to responsibility are not contradictory here in Albatross.
penguin
There is nothing more loyal than the penguins' love affair, and they can't have these things like red apricots out of the wall or husbands going out of the way. They will be gracious and loving, and they will nurture the next generation, and when one of them dies, the other will be in pain, but they will never empathize with each other, and some will even be martyred together. But the difference is that these can only be in one mating season, and after the season, they generally switch partners.
A few years ago, Argentina's National Research Council published the results of a 30-year survey of penguins. The researchers wore metal identification rings on the 50,000 Magellan penguins living on the southern coast of Argentina and used satellites to track the penguins' whereabouts and study their lives.
It turned out that the partnership between these penguins was really surprising. They are separated during the long migration journeys of winter, but are still able to return to their old nests during the breeding season, reunite with their original partners, and breed the next generation. The migration journey between each other is more than 18,000 kilometers, almost half a circle around the earth, and it is not easy for husband and wife to reunite once.
Among them, a pair of Magellan penguins were found to have been married for 16 years, which is equivalent to a human "diamond marriage". Every spring, no matter who the husband and wife return to the nest first, they will make a "love call" near the nest and look for their only partner. After the reunion, they come together to breed new nests of chicks. Over the past 16 years, they have traveled a total of 350,000 kilometers.
Bald seabream
The bald seabream is the most strict monogamous system, and once they are together, they are loyal to each other until one of them dies.
Black Vulture
The black vulture is ugly in appearance, but monogamous. The male and female parent birds of the black vultures take turns to incubate their eggs for a period of 52-55 days. The chicks are late-growing, grow extremely slowly, and usually live after a 90-150-day nesting period under the feeding of the parent birds before the chicks can leave the nest.
The Black Vulture hates cheating so much that if one party is caught having fun with other birds, the other will abandon it, and the other Black Vultures in the area will spit on it.
swan
The swan is typical monogamous, the male swan loves its wife and children very much, as long as there is a strange creature close to its family, the male swan will fearlessly rush forward to launch an attack, so everyone sees the swan not too close when the child is slipping.
parrot
Parrots should be said to be the most loyal animals to their partners, they love only one in their lives, and if their partners die early, they will spend the rest of their lives alone.
flamingo
Flamingos are highly socialized animals that consciously practice monogamy. Once they have identified their partner, they will remain faithful for at least the next 20 years of their lives. Even if the partner dies, it will be followed by martyrdom.
seagull
Seagulls are the most obsessive birds in the world, they only spend their lives with one partner, if one seagull dies first, the other will constantly hover over the sea to call for the return of their partner, until they fall into the sea with all their strength and die.

Orange-bellied voles
The grasslands of North America live an orange-bellied vole that lives in labyrinthine burrows and feeds on plants. They have a feature that is very rare among mammals: monogamy.
After the two voles look at each other, they will sniff, lick, and grind their ears, clean each other's bodies, build a nest that belongs to the two mice, and then mate, which is a very ritualistic process.
Once two orange-bellied voles are married, their relationship lasts a lifetime, grooming each other, building nests together, and caring for their cubs.
After a long time of life, orange-bellied voles will produce oxytocin, antidiuretic hormone and dopamine in the brain, these high-level neurotransmitters play a key role in animal behavior, and frequent mating will promote the secretion of these substances (the so-called long-term love). Stimulated by these hormones, it is as if they are completely in love with each other and do not want to be separated from each other.
The orange-bellied voles are fierce against other voles except their companions, with a strong aggressiveness, typical of the "domineering president physique".
After the death of its husband or wife, the undead vole will mourn by its side for a long time, unwilling to leave, and make people cry bitterly.
Clouded leopard
Clouded leopards have a different view of mate selection than cats such as tigers, lions, and leopards – in their lifetime, they will only choose one lover and be loyal to them. If one of the pair dies, then the other will have a hard time accepting the other opposite sexes and will even "punch and kick" them.
wolf
Although wolves live in groups and have many members of the family, only one male and one female feed their offspring. Once the two wolves become husband and wife, they will stick to this relationship for the rest of their lives, and from then on, there is no possibility of finding another mate, even if one wolf dies, the other will not look for a new partner for life.
gibbon
Gibbons live in groups, each group consisting of 1 male and female and their children, generally no more than 5-6. Further observations of gibbons found that a male gibbon was not so much a father who cared for his offspring as a caretaker of his mate. It is also a brave defender, defending the young leaves and ripe fruit of the jungle for his spouse and children to eat.
vole
The voles of the savannah have always insisted on mating only with virgins, not looking at other females at all, and may even attack the females who are blooming with spring flowers. Their loyalty reaches a state of madness. To explain this behavior, the scientists tracked hormones in their brains, and the results showed that once this long-lasting bond was triggered, it increased aggression against potential home interlopers.

French angelfish
Under normal circumstances, French angelfish always appear in pairs, and as long as the other person is alive, they will always be together. Like the Mandarin duck, it is considered a loyal animal.
flatfish
Flounder, also known as flounder, has an oblong, ovate or long tongue-shaped body. This fish has a very significant feature: the adult flounder body is asymmetrical to the left and right, and both eyes are located on the left or right side of the head, so it is often necessary for two fish to travel together to better determine the surrounding environment, which is said to be the origin of the name "flounder".
Since ancient times, "mandarin duck bird on the pond" and "flounder in the water" have often been used to describe lovers or couples who follow each other, in order to express the attachment and perseverance of love. Li Yu, a famous writer and opera composer in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, wrote a love drama called "Flounder", and the storyline is probably like this:
Tan Chuyu, a poor scholar, fell in love with Liu Shugu, a female dan in a drama class, so she entered the class to learn drama, and the two secretly communicated. Later, Liu Fugu was forced to marry Qian Wanguan by her mother who coveted money, she swore to die, and when she starred in "Jingchao", she wrote a new word by herself, condemning her mother's greed for wealth and wealth in the tone of the characters in the play, scolding Qian Wanguan who was watching the play, and then committing suicide by throwing herself into the river from the stage, and the scholar Tan Chuyu also threw herself into the river. After their deaths, the two turned into a contrasting fish, were caught in a net, and then returned to human form and married. ”
This drama vividly expresses the infatuation of children who live and die. "Flounder" is also known as the most touching work in Li Yu's opera collection "Ten Kinds of Songs of Kasawong".
blowfish
Puffer fish is favored for its unique shape and delicious taste. "The basket is full of short buds, which is when the puffer fish wants to go up." But the puffer fish is known as the most romantic animal in the world. Blowfish are very loyal to their partners and even give their lives to protect their lovers.
Blowfish is probably the most art-savvy boy in the ocean, and it was hard before he pursued his only partner.
During the breeding season, male pufferfish attract the attention of female pufferfish by hitting their fins on both sides of their bodies and drawing an incredible pattern on the seabed.
The pattern is dozens of times larger, and the male pufferfish need to work 24 hours a week to complete this exquisite work of art, and they will even pick up small shells around them to decorate the pattern.
For pufferfish, finding a real companion is rare. Male pufferfish will build beautiful nests in sand in different geometric styles, and will also go to dangerous areas to find some beautiful small gifts to attract female pufferfish to lay their eggs in the nest.
When in danger, puffer fish will actively and bravely stand up for their beloved females and take the lead, even if they may never see each other again.
When the pufferfish is frightened when it encounters danger, it will only bulge up and intimidate its opponent with a swollen and terrifying image. They are weak animals, and they have little power in the face of powerful predators, especially when their weaknesses are exposed.
The box dolphin, which looks a bit like the pufferfish, is also a loyal lover of love, and when its partner is attacked by other animals, it will use its small body to take the initiative to meet the challenge.
In the eyes of pufferfish and many pufferfish, the value of love is above all else, and they will take the initiative to resist all dangers for their beloved lovers at the risk of their own lives.
The captured puffer fish, the bulging belly, is not terrible in front of humans, and even feels a little cute. Humans have long been well aware of their habits, they are a delicacy, and some places have studied how to eat puffer fish raw. Even after being caught, some puffer fish will continue to spit water on the females, and the scene of the foaming together is well reproduced on them.
Shrimp
There is a small shrimp in the ocean, often living together with one female and one male, and their name is "Li Shrimp". They are still small when the juvenile metamorphosis is just complete, and can easily enter the sponge body through the sponge holes.
This will never come out, in which pairs of companions, raising children, until the end of life, become an enviable loving couple, so people jokingly call them the "two" in the shrimp, and the sponges they inhabit are also called "the old cave with the old".
The "cave" that the shrimp enter is the beautiful "venus's flower basket", which is a sponge animal, which is like a net pocket, surrounded by small holes, because its skeleton is composed of silica, and silica is the raw material for making glass, so it is also called glass sponge, which is also a work of art in the sponge.
sea horse
Seahorse's love begins with a courtship journey.
At the beginning of courtship, the male and female seahorses will wrap their tails around each other for several days, during which they will rotate and change color together; after that, the male seahorses will begin to perform an 8-hour "courtship dance", which is an act of courtship. After agreeing with each other, they will honor monogamy for a lifetime, and they will share everything with each other.
The female hippocampus then takes her maternity leave in a very peculiar way, while the male seahorse takes on the role of pregnancy, and when the hippocampus is mated, the male hippocampus will put the fertilized eggs in his nursery bag so that the female hippocampus can reduce the burden and concentrate on laying more eggs.
After a month, when the fertilized eggs mature, the little babies will be delivered, so it can be said that the seahorse father gave life to the little seahorses.
Seahorses can conceive 2 to 3 times a year, and can hatch up to 500 small seahorses at a time. In the face of a cruel living environment and fiercely competitive natural laws, this method of reproduction undoubtedly plays an indispensable role in the continuation of species
Clownfish
There are about 30 species of clownfish found so far, of which there are many different colors. It's a very territorial little guy and absolute monogamy.
You can often see a large group of clownfish that seem to be all in the same anemone. At this time, there is a strict hierarchy between them. The largest one, of course, is the leader of the fish, and it must be the female. The second largest one is the deputy head of the fish, the male fish. The rest of the sentient beings are not hierarchical, even genderless. It can also be said that due to the suppression of the chief and deputy chiefs, they are unable to develop gender.
The "little couple" who surveyed the fertility base together
Only when the largest female fish dies, the deputy chief male fish will transform into a female fish and become the leader. And the largest of the "many sentient beings" will be promoted to become a male fish and become the deputy leader. Because only one female and one male can be in the same territory, this absolutized "monogamy" system is also objectively born.
The couple will always be together, and together they will resist enemies and prey, and will also choose the place to lay their eggs together. When the female fish has finished spawning, it is completely up to the male to take care of the baby every day, and the female will not walk away, but is only responsible for supervision and will not participate at all. Therefore, the male fish is also a responsible good father.
Butterflyfish
There are more than 120 species of butterflyfish in 12 genera. This brightly colored, palm-sized coral reef residents live in pairs in pairs of monogamous, they are similar to clownfish, have a very strong sense of territory, and have a very strong social nature.
Butterflyfish perform one-on-one during courtship and mating. The larger male lures the female out of the seabed, then the male touches the female's abdomen with his head and kiss, then swims to the surface of the sea together, and then ventulates and ovulates, and then sneaks back to the seabed, the eggs can hatch in about a day and a half after fertilization, but usually go through a period of one or two months of floating before returning to the coral reef area.
They are loyal and single-minded to love, basically in pairs, like Mandarin ducks on land, and in most underwater photography, if not a flock of butterfly fish, it is a pair. They swim and play in pairs in the coral reef, always inseparable. When one tail is feeding, the other tail is on guard around it, as if the husband were protecting his wife.
Mantis shrimp
Mantis shrimp, popularly speaking, is our common Pippi shrimp, but here is still the more beautiful peacock mantis shrimp to give an example, the value is king.
Peacock mantis shrimp are usually monogamous, the male shell will be very gorgeous, and the appearance of the face can attract the female the fastest. Once the female had chosen her partner based on his gorgeous carapace, she would accept the sperm wrap he passed on to her, and then she would release the egg again, which would be fertilized by the sperm.
Finally, the eggs are brought back to her cave, where she will protect them, and the two will stay together all the time. Because the cave entrances are very small, it is usually one inside the cave and one outcroped, and in rare cases two can be seen at the same time.
According to scientists, the most common record of mantis shrimp is 20 years of monogamous life, which is also considered to be "porcelain marriage" level in humans.
Wolf eel
The wolf eel itself is a highly aggressive marine animal, and its amazing bite force is able to crush sea urchins or crabs effortlessly. However, under the appearance of this fierce god, the wolf eel is a "monogamous" breeding method, with only one partner for life.
Wolf eels are generally sexually mature around 4 years old, and once the pairing is successful, they will choose a cave on the seabed to "settle down". Female wolf eels can lay tens of thousands of eggs each time they mate, and the lupus couple will take turns to go out foraging for food in order to protect their offspring. In order to allow the eggs to fully absorb the oxygen in the water, the wolf eel couple will also carefully flip them over one by one. After the eggs hatch, the newborn wolf eels will swim deeper into the sea, and they will eventually find their other half.
Most of them are distributed on the north coast of the Pacific Ocean, and they can often be photographed in the caves in pairs of two big heads, ugly and cute.
horseshoe crab
Horseshoe crabs, known as horseshoe crabs (hòu), belong to ancient and peculiar marine creatures, moving unusually slowly, but are very specific about "love".
Horseshoe crabs can be called "unwavering" to their partners. Whenever the breeding season of the spring and summer horseshoe crabs, once the male and female are married, they are inseparable, and the female horseshoe crab is about 25% larger than the male, so in the mating season, the female horseshoe crab can often be seen hunched over her thin "husband" slowly crawling on the beach. Of course, the purpose is that after the female lays the egg, the male can easily go directly to fertilization.
These couples, whether they travel from the deep sea to the shoals or are captured, have always been double-stayed and double-traveled. It is said that once one dies, the other will soon die, never alone. The most surprising thing is that when the tail of the male horseshoe crab is caught, the male crab clings tightly to the female, and the female horseshoe crab does not abandon her husband and flee, and the result is that they are lifted out of the water together.
Therefore, many people call the horseshoe crab "mandarin duck under the sea".
humpback whale
Most whales are monogamous, and humpback whales are more prominent, and even if their mates die, most humpback whales are left alone for life, carrying small whales or alone, rather than finding another mate.
Females give birth every 2 years, with a gestation period of about 10 months and only 1 baby whale per litter. When the baby whales want to feed, they instinctively rub the belly of the mother whale with their mouths. The mother whale sticks out the nipples that are usually hidden in the skin grooves on both sides of the genital foramen. The mother whale squirts out the milk, and the baby whale drinks milk in this way. When the female whale carries her cubs, the husband often follows close behind, intercepting other whales or boats that invade, and it seems that the whale father is still very responsible.
When there is no baby, a humpback whale couple will often dance and play with each other, and will also touch each other's fins, rub with their bodies, and emit various "songs", which can be described as love.

Who says love belongs only to higher creatures?
There is a sponge creature whose name is yearning: with the old cave.
The earliest records of the names of kailao's caves can be traced back to the Book of Poetry.
The valley is a different room, and the dead are in the same cave. Unbelief is like a day.
- "Poetry, Wang Feng, Big Car"
Later generations can often see similar descriptions, such as the well-known "West Chamber": "Born is the same, and death is the same cave". Or in the Ming Dynasty Hong Yang's "Wind and Moon Ruixian Pavilion", it is written: "Since I am committed to you, I am happy with you, and I am worried with my worries; I am born with you, and I die with the cave" and so on. These verses all show the desire, praise and praise for loyal love.
Perhaps only Chinese with deep cultural heritage could give such an ordinary low-level sponge creature such a poetic name.
Living in the deep sea, commonly found in the Philippines, similar species are distributed in Japan, the western Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. It looks like a long net pocket, with a tuft of fibers at the base that can be attached to the seabed and the benthic is solidified.
Because of its own food filtration properties, its cavity has become a favorite place for many small animals, including a small shrimp called a shrimp.
Li, in itself, has the meaning of conjugal love.
When the shrimp is still a juvenile, the two small shrimps of the green plum bamboo horse enter the cavity in pairs through the sieve hole of the old man's cave, and live a happy life of opening their mouths, without natural enemies, and like a fairy companion, but when the shrimp gradually grows up and the body exceeds the aperture of the sieve hole, it is permanently imprisoned in the cavity of the same hole with the old man, and both die and merge with the old man's cave.
Live together, grow up, whitehead, and then go to the end of life, "born with the same, dead with the cave". The name of the old cave is also derived from this, and it is precisely because of this that the old cave is regarded in Japan as a treasure and mascot symbolizing eternal love, and is often given to each other as a promise gift and a wedding gift to show the goodness of the end of a hundred years and never be separated.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="136" > the 10 most romantic animals in the world</h1>
1. Puffer fish
Already described, refer to the previous paragraph.
2. Gardener bird
The famous romantic bird, it can always adapt to the changes of various habitats, nesting will use bright branches to attract females, once the female is attracted, so the real romantic and plain and interesting life begins.
3. Double-horned hornbills
The average lifespan is about 50 years, and females are much smaller in size than males, and their eyes are also white. The mate selection for these birds is so impressive that for a female bird, whoever gives the best gift is the best companion, and those gifts even include dead bodies and bones.
4. Pygmy bird
They are small birds that usually occur in the tropical Regions of the United States. Measuring 7 to 15 cm in size, this bird has a short tail, rounded wings and a short beak, with dark green in females and striking spots in males. Another wonderful feature of these birds is the unique mating dance, and as a result, they have gained a place among most of the romantic animals of the world.
5. Bonobos
They bear a lot of similarities with humans. They express all natural feelings such as anger, happiness and romance, and their partners are always in harmony and used to sharing things with them, in addition to that, they even prefer to share food with strangers, they are the best example of romantic animals in the world.
6. Seahorse
Romantic animals in the ocean, like horses, have an upright posture. Once they meet the exact partner, they give instructions that show a highly romantic nature. They are willing to match each other for life and treat each other. See the preceding paragraph for details.
7. Lovebird
These small species are born in love with each other, their romantic behavior is both cute and innocent, the feathers will send a signal of love, and in response, the males will dance a beautiful dance, feeding each other fruits as a symbol of love. They usually appear in colors such as green, orange, and yellow, without which a romantic animal inventory would be incomplete.
8. Fishing
Incredibly, these species are known for their romance, and the males of this species are much smaller than the females. When they are together, the partner's skin grows together. Once the hatched eggs are ripe, they migrate into the dark depths in search of the perfect match. They love each other, that's the power of love!
9. Elephants
They are socially strong and can quickly establish contact with other species. Like the love and care they have with their families, they show extraordinary compassion for other species. Elephants are conceived for 22 months, and the mother elephant takes care of the child and even the injured members of the family. As such, these mammals have a unique importance to ecosystems.
10. Albatross
Mainly distributed in the South Pacific and North Pacific, they are the largest birds, up to about 12 feet long. These beautiful birds are adorable in nature, and it takes them nearly a decade to mature and start a relationship. The selection of a partner by this species is an interesting process, they will proceed slowly, dancing, singing, etc., are all the processes of choosing a lifelong partner. See the paragraph above.
Who says only human beings understand love? These animals are sometimes more loyal than humans. In any case, it is their nature, the product of evolution, and evolution does not have its own moral implications.
In the world of these animals, there is neither "red apricot out of the wall", nor "looking for flowers and asking for willows", but only harmonious companionship and love for a lifetime. Their love legends are worthy of reference and learning from modern human society.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="159" can love be generated between humans and animals >? </h1>
In 2014, the British BBC documentary "The Girl Who Talked to Dolphins" was released, and "Mermaid Love" surfaced.
Human love actually began with a secret experiment
In 1960, the dark experiment was conducted on the U.S. island of Virgin Island and funded by NASA to get dolphins to learn human language, but because of its ethical implications, it was not made public at the time. The protagonists of the experiment were a male dolphin named Peter and a female experimenter named Margaret. The scientists' initial plan was to let Margaret live with the dolphin every day, 24 hours a day in the experimental center, eating, sleeping together, teaching and entertainment at the same time, with the aim of adapting the dolphin to life with humans, and trying to teach the dolphin to understand, understand, and speak English with the vocal structure of the stomata, just like the mother taught the child.
Peter demonstrated amazing learning abilities, and in less than two weeks, he learned to use stomata to make sounds, saying the numbers "one, two, three", as well as the "hello, hi" type of greeting. At that time, in order to let Peter learn English effectively, Margaret would deliberately paint white around the lips and black on the lips during training, just like the stomata of dolphins, so that Peter could see the shape of the human mouth clearly and attract its attention.
Peter's learning progressed rapidly, and when Margaret said "work work," Peter would answer "play play," and Peter meant to play with Margaret, not to learn all the time. During the experiment, the team taught Peter a total of 700 English words, and although some of the words were not pronounced very well, margaret began to expect Peter to learn more words. She decides to spend more time with Peter, however, in the ongoing learning, something unusual begins to happen...
How did Peter the Dolphin's secret affair with humans happen?
Gradually, Peter became more and more reluctant to learn, and only wanted to be close to Margaret. It didn't want to take English classes, but wanted to play with Margaret at all times.
Every day, Peter looks in the mirror and behaves in various ways to attract Margaret's attention; and peter is particularly upset when Margaret goes to the bathroom. Peter also became jealous, yelling at Margaret whenever he spoke on the phone, hoping she would hurry back to it.
In the fifth week of the experiment, Margaret found something unusual, she wrote in her diary: "This week, Peter actually had a physiological reaction to me, I felt that its desire hindered our relationship, it began to squeeze the body between my legs, and even bit my body. ”
Margaret also admitted in the documentary that he enjoyed the "sexual game" with Peter and considered it a very precious and tender moment. Margaret believes that having sex with Peter is an act that can get closer to him and know him better. Margaret also said that these every move is open and transparent, as long as Peter is not too rude, which she thinks will be helpful for the study.
Perhaps, Peter was already in love with Margaret, and he didn't want to be separated from her for a second. At this time, Margaret also began to have a "different feeling" for Peter. While Margaret tried his best to restrain his feelings, the team forcibly separated Peter and Margaret as the experiment moved toward "uncontrollable development." Coupled with the fact that Peter and Margaret's sex story was published in newspapers and magazines, and news of the inhumane treatment of dolphins came out one after another, Margaret was powerless and the research plan was suspended.
The sadistic experiment ended heartbreakingly
Peter was taken out of his original laboratory and arranged to be sent to another institution's pool, never to be seen again. When Peter found out that Margaret was not there, he began to be extremely angry, constantly shouting Margaret's name through his air holes, not eating or drinking. A few weeks later, Margaret learned the unfortunate news: Peter had sneaked under the pool, refused to come up and breathe, and held himself to death. This dolphin, named Peter, committed suicide because of love.
Margaret, after 60 years of silence, told the BBC all about it. And she has been calling the dolphin Peter in interviews, apparently not just a mere dolphin. Later, because she missed Peter, she moved to the marine laboratory and converted it into a family home, where she has lived ever since. This is the dolphin experiment that has been hiding the world for 60 years. In this experiment, humans not only taught dolphin language, but perhaps more than that, heartbreak.
