13. I think we give these highly intelligent, very social animals too little credit.

Sea world knows, for the most part, which pods/family groups they are from.
I'm betting they can locate them as well.

To think that merely because they have been in a tank for years means they can't keep themselves alive in the wild is, I think underestimating them by a mile.

Release them near their old pods and the elders will sort them out.
