In The Wild With Robin Williams - Dolphins

[kentauros]

Have y'all seen this? I recall seeing it many years ago, perhaps on PBS, and remember mostly the scenes underwater near the end as well as one scene in there where he was cracking up the marine biologists

It's an hour long and from a VHS copy, but at least it's the full show, and not just clips.

1. I remember that too

2. thank you for this! I hadn't seen it before

so much that at missed at various times in my life...

We hoomans are so arrogant. "They're very bright. They learned 70 words!" And how many dolphin words have we so-called superior beings learned?

3. You're welcome :)

I also liked his encounter and subsequent "friendship" with Stubby

4. I think this is the program Koko the gorilla watched

In one of the Koko threads someone had wondered which of Williams' movies Koko had seen. It wasn't until this morning that I saw the answer on CNN: according to the researcher working with Koko, "She watched a documentary he did on dolphins and she watched 'Awakenings' over and over."

5. That's rather interesting because

it also shows that researchers like to watch documentaries and movies about other researchers

I didn't know which instance came first with regards to his visit with Koko and the dolphins, so thanks for the added info.
