A living legend around some parts of the Bahamas and Australia for being the only human ever to not just live in a big society of wild dolphins, but to virtually grow up with them.

Allen McCloud is gifted with an empathic ability to think into animals and understand their way of being. He has learned to understand the communication systems as well as the instincts and emotions of many different species. In order to do that, McCloud socialized with animals in their natural habitat while growing up in the wilderness. There, he lived among feral Dingoes as an equal, accompanied Australian Brumbies through the Outback and spent some time among african lions.

But nothing of that comes close to the value of his many years among toothed whales. Today, McCloud is the only human to fully understand and use dolphin communication in the Tursiops truncatus species, while science still struggles to figure out the basics. He has successfully taught wild calves all the necessary social, communication, echolocation and hunting skills to survive. Having learned everything there's to know from other adult dolphins of his society, there's nothing that their human associate didn't catch about what it means to be such a highly social mammal that lives in the sea.
Those who got to know the man consider him to be the only real expert on dolphin behavior and life worldwide, for his insight is staggering even for those who thought themselves to be knowledgeable in this field.
Some kids around Andros Island once gave him the nickname: "Emissary the Ocean".
