Literature Dolphin Information

All the following are facts from research, not the making it up as I go along the rest of the CCP is.

All the things I've made up, in theory based on the above.

Have no concept of 'corpse' in the way humans do. Something is alive or it is food, and when you kill something it becomes food. Not necessarily for them but something will eat it.
- Therefore don't understand funerals or honouring bodies since it isn't the person any more.
- Know that humans retrieve the bodies of their kin so there must be a reason. Haven't seen humans eat other humans and they seem put off by the thought, so they must feed it to something else. A common suspicion is that human young are fed the bodies. (The CCP members haven't yet exchanged this concept, which is probably a good thing.)
- Note, the dolphins have no objection to this act, they just think it curious.
