The Dolphin Touch
Narrated by David Attenborough
In captivity their graceful agility and remarkable intelligence make them star performers at seaquaria the world over. In the wild too they've earned a reputation for seeking close contact with mani - swimming with him, rescuing him from drowning, even taking him for rides
Now there's news from Western Australia that wild dolphins are coming right up the beach, dodging playfully between the legs of bathers and accepting food from fascinated spectators-is it pure chance, or yet another astonishing encounter with a marine mammal intent on persuading us to 'join in the swim '?
