Peter Dolphin

Peter Dolphin was a male dolphin who was one of the dolphins originally used on the TV show Flipper. After he finished on the show, he was used in a NASA-funded research project headed by John C Lilly in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands during the 1960s. His trainer Margaret C. Howe attempted to teach him to understand and mimic human speech. In 2014 it was reported Margaret and Peter Dolphin engaged in sexual relations and, depressed at their separation after the experiment ended, he committed suicide in Florida.
