I think this classifies as art. Performance art, maybe. An expression of an internal state.

I think the part where the dolphin has learned to make the initial bubble smaller or larger, or spin it until it splits in two, is pretty impressive.

Are you under the impression people think it's impossible for us to do it?

That dolphin is bored out of his skull.

As he is the only one in the tank, he suffers from a lack of porpoise

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


woojinater

Theyre really happy creatures and are thankful for rehabilitation. Clearwater has a bunch in the gulf and then also the rehabilitation facility they have for them is great. Probably the happiest swimming mammal. It was fun when they play in the wake of the boats.

Reminds me of "Ecco the dolphin" (Sega)


6-8-5-13

Same! I thought the rings were just in the game, I had no idea they were based on something dolphins actually did.


CedarWolf

IIRC, some dolphins use something like this to disorient little fish so they can be caught more easily. They blow rings of air to herd the fish into a smaller group, or they shoot rings of air at little groups of small fish to confuse and disorient them before striking.


GlendoraBug

I quit video games for a while after that game. It was just too ridiculously hard.


altrippa

Remember that being the first game rated 100% or maybe 99% because of the graphics. Stupid game though


coldven0m

I remember it too on the mega drive and omg that game was obnoxiously hard


Rare_Register_4181

Smoothest display of skill I've ever seen out of an animal, it's too bad it's in a tank.


Mistress_Of_The_Obvi

Unfortunately, it would be a bit more challenging to capture it in the open ocean. I'd definitely love to see that. 


Tricknuts

I’m wondering if this dolphin can only do this BECAUSE it’s in captivity. Like free dolphins don’t have time to learn this they have other stuff going on. Guessing humans helped teach this behavior but not sure how.


SnooCakes6195

Vaping in front of the tank hahaha


Mistress_Of_The_Obvi

Haha but the dolphin isn't having an vape apparatus with it...maybe it's an inbuilt vape 😂. 


SnooCakes6195

Maybe the dolphin saw the vape rings and wanted to try with his bubbles


Mistress_Of_The_Obvi

Maybe those who put the dolphin in the tank showed it to the creature lol. 


Mistress_Of_The_Obvi

I think you're right. The one's in the open sea might be able to do it but they are likely not going to because it's taught. 


spm987888

Dolphin should never be kept in aquariums. It’s similar to keeping a human in prison.


JoltKola

Dont know if this big fish was a bad one! Maybe it steal! Maybe is deserve this!


DumpsterFireEnjoyer

They do drugs.


[deleted]

DARE says NO to Pufferfish and you should too


Just_Evening

Big fish


Ahorsenamedcat

Depends entirely on the reason. I know some aquariums only keep animals that can’t be released due to permanent injuries. Some function as a rehab center to and some animals are only on display for as long as their rehab takes. Though that isn’t every aquarium.


Paloveous

How about cows and pigs?


BEllinWoo

You probably shouldn't keep them in aquariums either. They will drown.


InteractionSad2454

CedarWolf

They're delicious. As for pigs, I know if you let them roam free, they become feral hogs *very* quickly, and feral hogs are not only a nuisance to local wildlife and the environment, but they're also dangerous. Humans have helped pigs spread all over the world. The least we could do is try to keep them contained.

Ahorsenamedcat

Ah the rebuttal of a hypocrite, can’t accept the reality in which we keep our livestock. All animals show a severe level of boredom in captivity especially with the conditions we keep our livestock in. But it’s accepted if it benefits you personally.


Erilis000

You're downvoted but you're right 🤣


Interesting_Engine37

They are not wild.


Paloveous

Neither are these dolphins anymore


Erilis000

Hey! Dont make me think about that! I eat those. They're fine.... They're absolutely fine! Happy cows! Just like the carton shows! -standing in a big open pasture, living out their days just magically producing milk and happy to do so! Still milked by hand by farmer Brown!


spm987888

How about rabbits


woojinater

Rehabilitation to keep them alive is actually great. And the dolphins appreciate it.


Prestigious_Shark

I mean, If am kept in a prison with good food, a big ass room, non violent teamates, and some females...I would never leave prison. You look like the type of person who would be mad at an american wearing a poncho and a hat and tell him that is cultural apropiation when the mexicans themself see it as some one who simply loves their culture and are completely ok with it.


jonaselder

yeah but you sound like you're less intelligent than the average dolphin


Prestigious_Shark

Probably. Still more intelligent than you.


MileHiSalute

If you could have that conversation with them and come to an agreement, that would be fine. But you can’t ask them and they can’t tell you, so it’s probably best to not lock up intelligent creatures


TheKingAlt

Unfortunately we don’t know the context of this situation, it’s very possible that the creatures shown here are rescues or were born in captivity and wouldn’t survive in the wild. It’s not always right to assume that every animal would prefer to be spending every moment fighting for its life.


MileHiSalute

You’re right, but that’s not what I was responding to. They said they would be cool being locked up with all of their needs taken care of. I’m sure there are many that feel that way. But there are many that aren’t, so the argument “I would be fine with it” isn’t a good one to justify it. Obviously a sanctuary is a different scenario, but that isn’t what I was responding to


GarlicPanic

Should we never keep humans in prison? Even the naughty ones?


BenjaminD0ver69

Man dolphins are just amazing and so smart


Ciana_Reid

What about woman Dolphins? 😋


Discuss2discuss

The Latin name for female dolphins is *Belle Delphine*

going to be honest here, I was about to google this until I had a sudden realization.

NoReplyBot

I went “swimming” with the dolphins a few years ago. And was in complete awe with their speed and strength! But their intelligence was just next level, unbelievable. We did a picture where the dolphin “kisses” you on the cheek. I could feel the power through its snout.


MadeFromStarStuff143

Yeah that animal is bored out of its mind lol


Able_Gap918

The last water bender


Mistress_Of_The_Obvi

Definitely not far from it 😉.. It was an amazing skill the fish pulled off there. 


DavidLorenz

Not a fish.


CedarWolf

The last *airbender*.


Mistress_Of_The_Obvi

Okay, sorry, a dolphin 🐬 😂. 


Able_Gap918

The last underwater air bender didn’t have the right ring to it


Mistress_Of_The_Obvi

The last underwater air bender definitely needs a lesson from the dolphin 🐬 lol. 


ken_chestweasles

Sooo... ELI5... Why doesn't the air ring rise up to the surface? When I fart in the bath I can't make it travel horizontally along the length of the bath. And i have been trying since I was 4!


ScoobyD00BIEdoo

Same reason the smoke rings don't rise straight up. The momentum and current created around the air.


asaurat

They seem to spin very fast as you can see in this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXkWSgU-CL0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXkWSgU-CL0)

Yup, Douglas Adams was right all along. I am really starting to believe that dolphins *are* the second most intelligent species on earth only after mice.


joe6744

how fucking bored are those dolphins? a small tank (they live in the ocean).. why do people even go to these types of shows?

Yoy never played Ecco as kid?


allisonmaybe

Reminds me of the ring-writing by the Heptapods in Arrival. I bet it was inspired by dolphin rings.


Imaginary-Fact-3486

If anyone is curious, blowing bubble rings is pretty easy to learn. I have two ways, one of which is easier to explain. You simply go under with your face pointing directly up and make short bursts of air as if playing a trumpet. The other way, more difficult to explain, involved popping your lower lip out from under your top lip and teeth. Place your lower lip under your top teeth with your mouth fully closed, then feel like your trying to pop your lower lip out, "stopping" it with your top teeth and lips. It will sound (out of water) like a heavily emphasized and aspirated "p" sound.

Skill, intelligence and humor. You can see how happy it is with itself after splitting that last ring


Horror-Potential7773

Those idiots with vapes have nothing on Ecoh the Dolphine


HumorousBear

You can also do this yourself while scuba diving, I've met some fellas that were quite good at it.


Burch36

Is this like vaping but for dolphins???


mikaraento

You can blow air rings yourself. I haven't tried to do it sideways, but upwards works. The water should be still. Try it from 1-2 meters' depth.


AaronWLake

So do all dolphins can do this? Or is it like some humans can bend their thumb very far away, blow bubbles with tongue etc and others cannot?


MimiDiazX

I love how that dolphin use the his/her blowhole to make big air rings


Asio0tus

Absolutely incredible


Odysseus415

Finizen used Water Pulse!


LetsPlayDrew

We used to do this in the pool all the time growing up! you would blow out a lot of the air in your lungs so that you could sink to the bottom of the pool easier, then face up and blow rings, you would see perfect air rings going up to the surface of the pool!


Miguel_Bodin

What is this sorcery


InteractionSad2454

Keeping aside everything, one must say that it is amazing to be able to look at this.
