• Why do Dolphins Play (2014, background): “Perhaps they are more likely to mimic other calves because calves are more similar to one another in body size than are any calf and adult, this similarity making it easier to interpret, remember, and reproduce the observed behavior (Kuczaj et al., 2006; Yando, Seitz, & Zigler, 1978).”
• Play in Wild and Captive Cetaceans (2010, background): “Other objects that have accidentally become the focus of dolphin play activities include wallets, hats (Tavolga, 1966), pieces of wood (Bel’kovich et al., 1970), coins (Caldwell & Caldwell, 1972), pool cleaning equipment (Gewalt, 1989; Tayler & Saayman, 1973), and sunglasses (Kuczaj et al., 2006).”
• Play, Playfulness, Creativity and Innovation (2013, background): “Their behavior is not just a consequence of domestication, because play in adults has also been seen in many wild species including wolves, coyotes, Cape hunting dogs, gorillas and dolphins (Kuczaj et al., 2006).”
