I once had a blind cave tetra (fish) that could find the food faster than any other fish. He would steal it and swim around with it in his mouth as the other fish would chase him. It always amazed me that he could locate it without eyes.

There certaihly is no commonality between these two species yet the life of each depend on the same shared sense. The world is a place of amazement if we are willing to learn aNd looki outside of ourselves.

always learning more about how complex dolphins are. Too bad some countries kill them on purpose.
