Description
Gallo and four co-authors watched in twenty twenty-four how nine held dolphins look at and act near folks. Sight focus is key in how beasts read each other and form bonds. Time in the site and being known to the beast may shape that focus.
In still tests, time in the site drove play and calls near folks, known or not. Known folks drew the beasts to stay near for long, with more right-eye looks. That eye bias hints at how the brain sorts a known face. Past life shapes how held beasts build bonds with care staff, they say.
