  DRC’s Object Permanence Study on YouTube

Our most recent research project was published by the prestigious journal Animal Cognition! To demonstrate the study and share what we learned about dolphins’ understanding of hidden objects we produced a short video. It’s now available for viewing at YouTube. To watch it, either visit the DRC blog, or go directly to the video on YouTube.

  Don’t Feed Wild Dolphins PSA Launched!

For the last few years, Dolphin Research Center has worked with National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and several other government agencies and private organizations on a public service announcement alerting the public to the dangers that wild dolphins face when people feed them. We are thrilled to announce that the PSA has now launched and we are eager to help spread the word. The PSA uses a clever concept – a dolphin in rehab sharing about his addiction to human handouts – and outstanding animation to deliver this important message.

Click here to visit the official website and view the PSA.

Click here to watch a special video that explains the process of making the video. (Including how some DRC pod members helped!)
