Dolphin Loves To Play With Every Person And Dog He Sees | The Dodo Wild Hearts

Everybody on island knows Jojo. He'll go underneath you and he'll just kind of cruise with you. He'll look straight into your eyes. You can see there's a little bit of confusion in his face. He's looking over and seeing like, how are you doing this with me? He loves the surfing. He'll cruise right underneath the board. And then he'll go upside down. He'll sit then behind the rider and he'll jump up behind. He's just riding the wave like the surfer is riding the wave. When we do the subwing, you can cruise at this speed. When you're dolphin diving, he enjoys it so much that what we'll do is we'll subwing for a bit. And then we'll stop, just change over and he'll sit and wait for the next two people to come in. And then he'll go again with them. When we started the business, he just seemed to love coming up and interacting with us. You can tell Jojo because he's 35, 40 now. You can see the age in his face. You can see the wrinkles around his eyes. The way he kind of acts around the boat, we'll be able to tell from that as to what he wants to do. You can see them swimming in the water wanting to get in. And then he runs straight to the back of the boat and jumps in. They start playing in the water together. And then Ziz will try and dive down. Jojo definitely seems to really like playing with the dogs. And that's why I think they get on so well when they're together, because they want to play. Zuzia is Jojo's kid. Bobo is the mum of Zuzia. We see them often. They love playing. There was talks actually of putting a dolphinarium here, which would have been horrible. There's a lot of car bump stickers that are around that say Jojo says no. And I think the general consensus was that we've been able to push the dolphinarium off. And it was largely because of how we have Jojo here and because of how they're free and wild here. It would be so against putting them in captivity. You can see them thinking and you can see them actually kind of processing things. They definitely do recognize some people under the water. They can see in between your mask and they can see the eyes. They've got personalities. They're more human-like than other animals. Yeah, get it, Bubbles! I'm so sorry for you.
