Walt Disney Pictures To Make 'Navy SEALs'
[Friday, February 4th, 2005]Walt Disney Pictures is to make a movie based on the San Diego Marine Mammals base, Navy SEALs, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The base is where in years past the Navy researched the hydrodynamics of torpedoes by studying dolphins. The Navy discovered the mammals were trainable and developed a program in which dolphins, sea lions and seals were trained to do recon, rescue downed pilots, look for mines and other tasks. The original dolphins are still in the program today.
