While this may seem like good news for dolphins, there is a catch-22 about being replaced.

For years, the United States Navy has trained dolphins and sea lions to locate enemy mines underwater as well as enemy divers.

Dolphins were trained to alert sailors of mines while sea lions placed claws on swimmers, forcing them to stop.

Now the Navy has made robots to help detect mines

Zooey Deschanel is clearly a woman of many talents!

She has her wildly successful series New Girl, her band She & Him with M. Ward, and apparently, also gets her athleticism in by taking horseback riding lessons!

The actress/singer was spotted training on top of a very handsome horsey alongside her instructor earlier this weekend in Sylmar, CA!

Ch-ch-check her out (above)!

So PRETTY!

And Zooey doesn't even look too bad herself! Ha!

Glad to see she's making time for her animal friends!

Hope you guys had a fun afternoon, filled with trotting and carrots!

This lady is just asking for it…

A trainer has somehow taught a lion to "attack" on command.

But in our opinion, there isn't a difference between a "fake" or real attack.

If there wasn't a fence there, this woman would most likely be dead and on the news…

Srsly…rewarding a lion for attacking you…not very smart.
