dolphins are social animals and could be following a disoriented leader. their food supply might be too close to shore. and might have something to do with the mild winter. examined four dead dolphins so far and will look at four more tomorrow. >> we would like to see every animal comes in live to go back out live. that's our goal and first priority. >> although 200 more dolphins have been spotted off the coast, there have been no new strandings since monday. scientists hope they'll find some answers before they find more dolphins on cape cod's beaches. jim axlerod. >> one small step for mankind, a giant leap for lego. two canadian teenagers said a lego man into space. he wasn't even wearing a helmet. they attached him to a weather balloon. what do you think happened next? smarties and a lego man up 80,000 feet. the balloon blew up. lego man returned safely to earth, bringing back amazing images. the boys used cell phone gps to locate him. he's okay. >> his head is a helmet. >> i got to tell you, you have to love those canadians. my husband is canadian, so

nearly 100 dolphins have been stranded for no reason.going efforts to find an explanation. >> at the ocean institution on cape cod. >> center global is 28. >> marine biologist is trying to solve the mystery of why dozens of dolphins are stranding themselves. >> why is it happening? >> it could be -- animals could be coming closer to shore. it's hard to say. >> the mass strandings started two weeks ago. 98 dolphins in all. as many as this area usually sees in an entire year. two dozen were safe. fitted with transmitters and released back into the water. brian sharp of the international fun for animal welfare is following their signals. these lines show three survivors have made it up to maine. >> this means they're alive and thriving. >> that's correct. the animal is alive. >> there are a few theories about what is behind the strandings. dolphins are social animals and could be following an order. their food supply may be too close to shore or p something to do with the unusually mild winter. four dead dolphins so far and look at four tom

so on saturday when we went out and first heard of a dolphin stranded we then heard of dolphins stranded up and down the coast until there was 25 miles of coastline until we recovered dolphins alive. it's a very widespread event. the other is the number of dolphins in so few days. just since thursday, between thursday and monday, we had 60 dolphins, including some 25 actually seen alive. of those 19, we've managed to return to the wild. >> dolphin stranding is not unique. it's a routine phenomena that happens from january to april or so. can you explain why they do this? >> nobody really knows exactly why dolphins strand, but it's obviously got something to do with the geography of cape cod. it's like a giant arm stretched out into the atlantic ocean and it forms a trap. we know that dolphins are present in the bay, they are feeding in the bay. that's normal for them. but they seem to get into shallow water, into these big areas of sand flats and mud flaps and creeks and literally get lost. also, they are very social. so when one animal is in trouble, the other animals stay with them. th

they are and these particular dolphins, atlantic bottle nose dolphins are the only dolphins that can be trained to do this. i have the pleasure of speaking to hans larson. he spent time with the navy s.e.a.l.s. training these dolphins, and he said it was extraordinary seeing what they were capable of doing. >> so you're saying, though, that these dolphins are being trained to help u.s. military? >> absolutely they are. they have this unbelievable, as i say, echo location and sonar. they are perfectly designed to do this, and the way the marines do this is by classic conditioning. they reward them. they reward them with fish. they love sardines. if you want to understand how a dolphin sees, you -- >> i actually know him. dr. salangi used to run the aquarium in gulfport, mississippi. is that was destroyed by hurricane katrina. many dolphins ended up in the gulf of mexico. most of those dolphins now are at the atlantis resort in the bahamas. >> a superb period of time when it comes to dl dpins, as you know. he says with a dolphin -- when you go for an ultrasound he says that is what a d

i am the vice president of the dolphins club. i speak today as a is member of 30 years at occoquan park rove and a supporter of the america's cup races. my problem with the jumbotron is that it presents an easy, when a ball it winnable. it will delay the races. it is not a brick wall. it is a sail. it is two stories by four stories. when you take the course of the wind on an object, and you double the speed of the wind, you quadruple the force of the wind. aquatic park experience is regularly force six wins or better. that is almost up to 30 miles per hour. that is easy almost every afternoon during the racing season. these are not conditions for placing an immovable sail that will experience over 1 ton of sustained force. this thing, we do not know if it is quite typical or not. no analysis has been done. first of all, there is no evidence anywhere that this has been tried before. the best comparison planning has come up with is a screen that is commonly used for short-term outdoor use and temporary concert venues. these menus a

i think these dolphins pick that up. sometimes dolphins in captivity can be stressed.ulled out was the whale noises and it keeps them relaxed and makes them feel better. >> whennor i have a particularly bad day, jenna brings in the whale noise toss put me to sleep in my office. jenna: better than trying to sing you to sleep! >> jon: but no, the interesting thing is they hadn't heard these sounds in the wild, right? they only heard them in captivity, because they've always been captive dolphins, and to be able to imitate them in their sleep, it just raises all kinds of questions about theirmental abilities and what they're doing, what thierp trying to say, i guess. >> yeah, because think about it this way. they get lots of noises at the park, tourists coming in, the exotic birds, they've got all kinds of noises. they pulled out the whale noises, to basically calm them at night. it's almost like when somebody hums a little bit or sings a song when they're stressed out, it's kind of like they just pick the whale noises out, same as we humans do with the cds and it's comfo
