Hey guys, I was wondering what makes dolphins race along with speeding boats/ships? I was checking out some sailing videos on youtube, and saw some dolphins racing the sailors.

They're playing. Like they do with random leaves and such when they fall into the water.

But do they know what boats are? although i doubt they are even self aware since dolphins are ancestors to cows right? those early cows that walked back into the ocean during dinosaur time, thats why dolphins and cows see red instead of blue, but cows never play with humans when you walk by them

I'm sure dolphins a self aware. Just because they're not aware of human tech doesn't mean they aren't smart. I mean look at Ecco, that blow-holin sumbitch saved the world like 3 times already

dolphins are indeed self aware to a degree
i dont have the article but if you mark a dolphin with something (like a waterproof marker), and give it a mirror it will swim by and look at the spot. the experiment included fake makes, where the dolphin was touched but no mark was left and after looking at itself in the mirror, it realised there was no spot and swam on.

Mirrors = self aware. (to a degree)

Have you ever tried playing with a cow? They're fucking naturals at soccer.

Not too bad at badminton either...

Your bird believes it to be another creature. Dolphins, some species of crow, great apes, and elephants all recognize their reflection as being themselves, rather than some other creature.

Dolphins are naturally inqusitive and playful creatures. The wake generated by a boat creates a strong disturbance on the surface of the water that they often feel the need to investigate. While they do this, they will continuously leap out of the water, appearing to 'play' in the wake. They seem to be intrigued by the noise, motion and movements of boats, and will often follow them for a short while if a boat crosses the direction of their pod.
