As soon as I entered into the lagoon in Polynesia, all marine animals started to approach me. The Stingrays started to touch me with their mouth to figure out which kind of specie I was. Their poisonous tail can be very dangerous, but if you are calm, not aggressive and allow them to come to you and make the first contact, then you can caress them. The marine species transmit non aggression to each other when they are comfortable in your presence. The marine turtles also arrived to receive caresses from me. The grand finale was when a dolphin was completely relaxed while I held it in my arms. This unique behavior can happen when the dolphins are in a relation with humans.
