message: They're also one of the few animal species thought to use objects for sexual display. The males pick up objects and strut around with them during mating season to attract females. This according to Dr. Tony Martin of the Sea Mammal Research Unit at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

thread_title:  tool use 

message: I have temporarily reverted to the revisions of Kspencer3.  Kspencer3 added a lot of new information, however, also in the process removed correct scientific notation, Wikipedia hyperlinks, correct reference links, added inappropriate links etc. etc. Once I fix this, I will upload the corrected and verified version of this article by Kspencer3.

thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: I'd like an editor to address why it has pink flesh, or why it looks pink (is it because of the water?), and why the shown photograph they don't look pink. Thanks. --Kiyoweap (talk) 03:19, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Most tropical species of cetacean (e.g. Bryde's, tucuxi, striped dolphin, etc.) can have a pinkish belly. It has something to do with flushing out excess heat. I remember hearing somewhere that boto flushed pink when aroused, but I don't know if that's true. I don't have a ref. This is all just off the top of my head.

text: "The pink skin is caused by blood flow through the capillaries and fades quickly after the animal dies. The pink coloration is also affected by activity and water clarity; pink Amazon River Dolphins occur mainly in turbid waters, and generally become pinker when aroused." (Reeves, Guide to Marine Mammals of the World, 2002, p. 307). SaberToothedWhale (talk) 17:57, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Baby, the last dolphin in Europe, has died 

message: As documented below, Botos indeed seem to hunt Eels, interestingly by slamming the eel repeatedly into the air. There seems to be no academic research on it despite the footage seen however, so should it be added into the wiki? (TL:DR; Documented doing so but no Academic Info on it)
