Question 5 transcript:
"The main challenge I think is trying to understand what the dolphin is doing and why the dolphin's doing what it's doing. Often times we'll have a particular hypothesis and we are thinking, 'ah, the animals doing it this way' and the animals goes through the task and does it completely differently. So sometimes it gets frustrating, sometimes it's kind of interesting because it gives you insights in terms of what's going on. So it's really a very interesting field, it's continuously changing and what you do with the animal is something that you have to continually think about."
