Dolphins are smart
« on: Sunday, January 20, 2008, 11:55:46 PM »
Apparently dolphins can create bubble rings in the water - watch the video to find out what they are.

According to the video description:
Quote
Dolphins have been observed to create bubble rings by exhaling air... More» carefully in the middle of the vortices caused by the motion of their fins through the water, among other techniques. Besides being nice to look at (and a neat demonstration of fluid mechanics), this phenomenon also might throw some light on dolphin cognition, since the skill to create the rings is a bit subtle and tends to be taught from one dolphin to the next via careful observation and practice.

You're not amused that a family of orcas are using their enormous size and formidable intellect for the sole purpose of fucking with fishermen?

I did find the fisherman video funny, but the dolphins win by a landslide.

Dolphin bubble rings = coolest thing I've seen in a long time.

Whale vid = ok, I guess.

Dolphins are smart

If they are so smart, why do they live in Igloos?
