Movies of Dolphins and Whales with bags
Very short movies of dolphins and whales from around the world.
According to scientists, the problem for dolphins in particular is that they are naturally curious and intelligent enough to enjoy play. They are attracted to bags as bright floating objects. However, like a human child, they are not smart enough to avoid the deadly potential of an unnatural object and material such as a plastic bag.
