... the dolphin may be a candidate for release depending on several factors:


1. Health and physical condition

2. Use of sonar

3. Ability to catch fish

4. Defensive skills against predators

Most dolphins born in what we call "the wild" are candidates for readaptation and release. But not all of them. Some dolphins have been in captivity too long and have forgotten or lost the skills needed to survive in what was once their home. Habitat dictates behavior. Captivity has destroyed something vital in their lives, something that, were they human, we would call "spirit." For them, it's too late.
