When I lived in Hawaii about 25 years ago, I swam with the dolphins almost every day.

I could exhale through my mouth and make bubble rings, which I always showed to the dolphins.

One day, one of the dolphins came right in front of me and stopped. It is very rare for wild dolphins to stop right in front of swimmers. I looked at the dolphin to see what was wrong, and it made a bubble ring! It was a very moving memory.

Also intriguing that the dolphins seemed to be taking turns, allowing everyone the opportunity to play with the bubbles.

These scientists are being paid to give dolphins a toy for a while and let them have essentially playtime warms my heart. I want more studies like these!

“Remember Earl, that day we found the bubble maker? That was a fun day, wasn’t it? Never saw it again though.”

OP-

The swim-through was amazing. Love just how playful dolphins are.

The discipline they have to play by turns, in an orderly manner… that’s something amazing

What’s even more interesting is that a recent study has shown that it is possible that dolphins in fact live in complex family environments who can identify siblings, cousins, uncles and have also friendships. Just an interesting thing to think about, imagine if we could translate their vocalisations into our language these animals might be more sentient and human like than we might originally have thought, beautiful creatures

We were at our local beach and there were several people surfing for the crowd. It was fun and people were taking videos and pictures, then all of a sudden a pack of dolphins appeared and they gave us the best show ever. They play with surfers and stole their spotlight. It was an awesome day for everyone and after a while, they left. Such an awesome memory.

"This machine blows bubble rings, something dolphins will never have seen before..."

Well, to be fair, I haven't either, and would definitely want to play with them if I could 😂

These creatures really do deserve their reputation for intelligence.

When I was at the Galapagos I swum with sealions. I was blowing air bubbles through my snorkel. The sealions on each of my side reacted on me and where blowing bubbles too. It cost me a fortune to go to the Galapagos and I was broke after that, but it was so worth it. Even it was just for experiencing that moment.

I love how they all kind of started straight swimming to the bubble and biting it but then switched to their own style like diving upside down to get to it

I wonder if they can reflect upon this to one another later. Like, "Hey, remember that time those animals put that thing by the dock that made those circular bubbles? That was a fun time, hope they do it again someday."

As someone who's cared for large groups of children I can practically hear them screaming and giggling at the new thing they found and just like children they're all going "GUYS WATCH THIS!" 😂
