Nature is
full of marvells and is home for a number of fascinating things and creatures.
This is one of the best examples to prove it.
This is a
story of an adorable dolphin which showered ocean goodies in return for the
treats that were given by the volunteers at the Barnacles Center.
Dolphins
are well-known for their intelligence. They are quite friendly creatures that
have the ability to build up complex relationships. They have the talent to use
both verbal as well as gestural signs to communicate with others. Dolphins
carry the intelligence of the aquatic mammals to a higher level than expected.
Mystique is
one such lovely male humpback dolphin that is 29-years-old. It's one of the
favourites at the male Barnacles Café and Dolphin Feeding center on
Queensland’s Cooloola Coast. It lives near Tin Can Bay near the Sunshine Coast,
which is a famous location for tourists. Mystique charms its visitors with
great ocean treasures. Some of the gifts that it came up with are shells,
corals, antique bottles and timber.
But it has
started missing companions since the quarantine season.

The dolphin
feeding volunteer Lyn McPherson shared: “He gets under it and if he drops it
too far out, or we say ‘come on, that’s not good enough’, then he gets
underneath it and brings it to us.” Volunteers are sure that it has a buried
treasure of his own as there isn't a shortage of gifts from him.
The
generous staff of the center rewards him with delicious fish treats for its
amazing effort. Mystique's this behaviour has increased with the loss of the
visitors. It seems as if the humans aren't the only ones who are in need of
special attention and love. Isn't that so? “Since we’ve been closed to the
public he has been doing it more and more. Sometimes he will bring 10, one at a
time, and he will line them up as he has to get fish,” McPherson continued.
Altogether, there are 7 dolphins in the feeding center, but mystique is the one
and only creature with such a generous behaviour.
The
following video shows mystique bringing ocean treasure for its feeders.
