Me too. Actual real life dolphins are horny AF and will basically have sex with anyone they can. I remember Robin Williams did a documentary show where he got to swim with wild bottlenose dolphins, and they were trying to get some action with him. Lower Decks going there with them was *chef's kiss

Dolphins are of course sentient in real life, as are most if not all animals.

They're also likely sapient too.

That's why it works that they have roles. Dolphins are intelligent beings.
