So far, dolphins have acted as the characters of entertainment. Their jumps, leaps and movements have earned huge revenues to the owners of amusement parks. And we have been able to shed off some weight from our moods or minds for that time. The animals have also created job opportunities for their trainers. This is how the world has recognized dolphins so far.
But now, the modern day research has turned their attention towards the healing mechanism of the aquatic entertainers. Researchers are eager to find out how the dolphins survive even after shark bites. They are interested to understand how the dolphins stay safe from pain experiences and how do they manage to avoid infections after an injury.
Dolphin biologists and dolphin handlers have provided their opinions on this matter and researchers have come to note that it is the dolphin blubber which has to take all the credits for this. Dolphin blubbers carry natural organohalogen compounds which perform the role of antibodies while displaying antimicrobial properties as well.
Researchers believe that the animals keep their antimicrobial compound stored for releasing it in times of injury. Further, the healing process in dolphins has been found to restore the body's actual shape, which means that it is a sort of regeneration.
Researchers have found the healing process similar to the one exhibited by mammalian fetuses when they get healed inside the womb. Further, their diving styles are also believed to prevent blood loss by diverting blood from the extremities.
Researchers hope to find a similar cure for the humans on the basis of this healing mechanism. They are sure to find some fresh antimicrobial agents and potent analgesic compounds in the wounds of these animals.
