If you were ever an over-imaginative, sensitive, sea-loving child, you probably had one of those awesome and adorable paintings of a child playing with a dolphin under a rainbow hung up in your room. And if you ever went to the seas, you probably even played with them. Oh! How adorable they are, with their cute whistles and love for playing! However, you only find them cute because you probably aren’t aware of the low and dirty secrets a dolphin holds. Read on these eleven facts about dolphins to know more about them, and good luck liking dolphins after you read this article:

1. Dolphins Rape The Females Of Their Species

Flabbergasted, eh? Those cute little baby dolphins are probably the last thing you would imagine to grow up into giant, horny rapists. But the hard truth is, they do. Bottlenose dolphins are known to gang up on a female of their species, isolate her, then, violently mate with her for several weeks. Guess what? They have even got all the horrible rapist special effects. They make scary noises, movements, and inflict smacks upon her to keep her in line. They’ll follow her if she tries to swim away! Poor little girl dolphin, doesn’t she deserve a right to her body too?(source)

2. Horny Dolphins Don’t Mind Groping Humans

If that isn’t enough to give you the nightmares, here is another besmirching fact about dolphins. When retired actress Demi Moore was visiting Las Vegas with her ex-husband, boyfriend, and children, she visited the Siegfried and Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. There, apparently, a male dolphin took a serious liking to her, and even made sexual advances!

“Dolphins are very sexually aggressive and one went after Demi in a big way”, said an onlooker. This isn’t the only one. Take a look at this gross video of a scuba diver being sexually attacked by a dolphin:

3. Dolphins Have Really Prehensile Penises

Not only are dolphins psychologically overtly sexual, even their biology is crafted in a way to assist them. Prehensility refers to the feature of a body part of being able to grab and hold. Some severely sexually aggressive creatures, therefore, have prehensile anuses that help grab on to the sexual organs of their partner and mate forcefully. Here is what Eric Lemonds says on Answers.com:

“A dolphin’s penis, when erect, is shaped vaguely like a hook, so when males copulate with females, the chance of them being accidentally separated is eliminated. Think of the penis as a key, and the female’s vagina is a lock. It’s meant for securing, not necessarily grabbing.”

Also, here is a really shocking video of a dolphin using a decapitated fish to masturbate. What is even gross is the idea that the reason humans find it so disgusting is because dolphins, not unlike humans, use sexuality for pleasure:

4. Dolphins Kill Baby Porpoises Because They Resemble Their Own

So what? They like sexuality. But that’s not all. Dolphins aren’t just sexually aggressive creatures always looking to get laid, they are evil in a way you could have never expected. In Scotland’s east coast and off the beaches of Virginia, baby porpoises wash up dead with horrifying internal injuries. Apparently, dolphins had been using echolocation and pulping techniques to internally damage and even kill baby porpoises as a sport!(source)

5. Dolphins Murder their Own Children To Mate With Their Mother

It was later found that dolphins only kill baby porpoises because they have a tendency to look like baby dolphins. Meaning, the original intention of the dolphins weren’t to play kill creatures of other species, it was to murder their own babies! The locations mentioned in the above point were also known for washed-up dead dolphin babies with similar internal injuries and dolphin tooth marks on their bodies. Want to know why male dolphins kill their babies? It’s so that their female partners lose interest in the newborns and mate with their males instead!(source)

6. Dolphins Can Go Without Sleep For Days

It’s not like they “never” sleep, but dolphins have an unusual ability to stay awake up to five days, and that’s without the slightest loss of mental or physical strength. Wonder how they pull that off? The two halves of a dolphin’s brain can sleep in “shifts” so that one part remains awake while the other is sleeping. This means a dolphin is always half-awake giving it the ability to last for days without the need for proper sleep.(source)
