Dolphins use wingmen to find partners, researchers found.A 30-year study of 85 bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay, Western Australia, revealed young males form friendship groups of four to 14 members that can last for decades.Senior author Dr Michael Krützen, of Switzerland’s Zurich University, said: “We talk about these groups as wingmen because that’s definitely what they are.
“We think these dolphins help each other because they live together for so long they know they will have many females and they will all get a turn to be the father. It’s super cool to see.” The study found young males are more pally than females and form friendship groups of four to 14 members that can last for decades.
