"Dinotopia is surrounded by storms and barrier reefs that keep our land safe. It isn't anything anyone has ever done, just nature. But because of it, sadly some humans from outside the nest wind up outside their boats, stranded and drowning. If a human would die and cannot be saved by being pulled back onto their ship, then the dolphins go to help them. If they can't get the human back to their boats, they bring them instead to the island. So since they arrive on dolphin back, they have been called dolphinbacks for as long as I can recall. If I studied the first dolphinbacks, I do not recall."

"As for what makes it difficult to speak Saurian... I am unsure if I can explain with this translation happening automatically. Because I am speaking Saurian right now."
