Playful Peril

We love to show off—leaping, playing hide‑and‑seek, and delighting every visitor who comes to see us. Your excitement, chatter, and eagerness to watch us bring us joy. When we don’t perform, you look disappointed. At the same time, we feel a little fear around crowds. Many of our relatives have been lost or killed by fishing gear and other traps, pushing our species toward the brink of extinction. Despite this danger, we still put on a show for you, hoping to inspire appreciation and protection for our fragile future.
