Scientists stunned! — The dolphins apparently play “catch” with discarded plastic sacks. Now if we could only teach them chess. The kicker to me is that it seems as if the scientists are suprised by all this behanvior. Was it unexpected? Has anyone in this crowd ever owned a dog? Geez. The next research report:”Scientists discover that milk sours when left out.”

The scientists also cited research suggesting young dolphins deliberately make their games as hard as possible, possibly to enhance the learning experience.

The captive dolphins “produced 317 distinct forms of play behavior during the five years that they were observed,” they wrote.
