This print showcases the US Navy Marine Mammal Program in San Diego, USA. Nestled within this remarkable Navy facility are sectioned water-filled pens housing an array of intelligent marine mammals, including bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions. These extraordinary creatures undergo rigorous training to perform crucial underwater tasks that aid the military. The program's primary objective is to utilize these highly skilled animals for various missions such as detecting suspicious objects, delivering equipment to divers, locating lost items, conducting surveillance with attached cameras, and guarding against intruders. The US Navy trains not only dolphins but also killer whales and beluga whales for these vital operations. Dating back to their involvement during the Vietnam War in the early 1970s and most recently deployed in Iraq in 2003, dolphins have proven indispensable allies on numerous occasions. This photograph offers a glimpse into their captive environment where they receive specialized care and training. Situated within a research park-like setting, this state-of-the-art training facility provides a controlled water enclosure for these magnificent creatures. It serves as both an animal experiment center and a biological research hub dedicated to advancing our understanding of marine mammal behavior. Science Photo Library brings us this awe-inspiring image that highlights the incredible capabilities of these trained animals while shedding light on their critical role in mine clearance, intruder detection, and other essential tasks performed by "animals of war.
