    Talking about dolphins, This was the news on the Jersey Coast
    Nobody could agree on wether they should help them find their way out of the river as it got colder or leave them alone.
    I dont know the final outcome, but I know a couple didnt make it

    fun facts about this behaviour:
    the scientific term for bubble rings is actually 'Toroidal Vortices'
    dolphins have been seen playing what looks to be their version f playing catch by throwing or passing the bubble and chasing each other around with it.

    just thought i throw those in for fun
