Militarized Dolphins Protect Almost a Quarter of the US Nuclear Stockpile
The Navy uses animals like dolphins and sea lions to protect ships from divers and mines through the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program.
"For protection against enemy divers, dolphins will swim up to the infiltrator, bump into them and place a buoy device on their back or a limb, using their mouth. The buoy then drags the outed diver to the surface for easy capture. When trained sea lions perform the same maneuver, they use a kind of handcuff with their mouths to attach the buoy."
My only question is, knowing that male dolphins can get a little "rapey", does this situation ever escalate?
