Dolphin Flirting Techniques

Young male dolphins engage in practice flirting sessions with their male companions before attempting to attract females. This behavior, observed in Shark Bay, Australia, includes various tactics, ranging from acrobatic displays to attempts at separating the females from their current partners. Research indicates that dolphins who practice these behaviors tend to succeed in forming romantic bonds and siring more offspring. The complicated social structure of these dolphins further highlights the importance of friendship and coordination in their mating rituals.
