🙏 Together, We Change Lives 🙏⬇️⬇️⬇️ • Petreon : / animalgeographic • • -------------------------------------------- • In this video, we explore the fascinating story of Margaret Howe Lovatt and her experiment to teach a dolphin named Peter to speak English. In the 1960s, Lovatt took part in a NASA-funded research project led by neuroscientist Dr. John Lilly, who built a Dolphinarium on Saint Thomas, a dolphin-house flooded with water, to accommodate three dolphins. Over a period of two years, Lilly and Lovatt tried to prove that human language could be mimicked by dolphins. • Lovatt reasoned that if she lived with the dolphins and made human-like sounds, similar to how a mother teaches her child to speak, they would have more success. She tried speaking slowly and changing the pitch of her tone to help Peter pronounce the words that she wanted him to learn. Lovatt and Peter spent all their time together in the isolated Dolphinarium where she documented Peter's progress with her twice-daily lessons and encouragement to say the words Hello Margaret . • However, despite Lovatt's efforts, it seemed that Peter was not actually learning to speak English but was instead just mimicking her sounds. When the project lost its funding, Peter was moved from the Dolphin House to a dreary, isolated tank in Miami, where he became increasingly depressed. Lovatt says she was eventually told that Peter died after refusing to breathe. This tragic story raises important issues about animals in captivity and their natural behaviors. • In this video, we also discuss another case of a human-dolphin relationship that has gained attention. Malcolm Brenner wrote a controversial novel called Wet Goddess about a love affair between a college student and a bottlenose dolphin in the 1970s. Brenner claims that the book is autobiographical. • This video provides an in-depth look at the fascinating story of Margaret Howe Lovatt and her experiment to teach a dolphin named Peter to speak English.
