But even if they have seen the bubbles, they wouldn’t have seen a machine making them.

   Dolphin intelligence & playfulness

   In this video, a team introduced wild dolphins to a bubble-ring-making machine and observed how the dolphins reacted. After some initial wariness, the animals played with them for hours, creating games and having fun. Note that there are some dolphins who create their own bubble rings to play with, so it’s hard to say that these particular dolphins have never seen a bubble ring before.
