A Russian naval base is defended by dolphins. It's not as unusual as it sounds

Satellite imagery captured by Maxar Technologies on Friday appears to show dolphin pens at the entrance to Sevastopol Harbor. The naval base there is important to the Russian military because of its proximity to the Crimean peninsula.

Citing satellite imagery, a submarine analyst says Russia's navy is deploying dolphins to defend a crucial base off Crimea. Russia and the U.S. have run marine mammal training programs for decades.
