This dolphin is employed in marine shows, where it is easy to train and socialize with him, but students of animal behavior have another reason to consider the dolphin smart; He is able to create and play several games on his own. The dolphin has been used in armies and military operations by some countries such as Russia and Israel. The history of this military use of dolphins began in 1966 from the Soviet Union on the island of Crimea.[4] The function of these dolphins is to search for torpedoes, unexploded sea mines, and weapons at a depth of 100 meters, and a pistol is installed on them to kill any suspected divers.
