Bubble Rings

Bubble Rings

Very cool article and video of dolphins blowing bubbles into a ring and then playing with the rings! Who knew!?!?! These dolphins tip their heads and expel brief bursts of CO2 through their blowholes; internal forces break the bubbles’ centers open to create tightly structured, spinning rings. The dolphins then flip the rings around, poke their noses through them, twirl them into different shapes — they even bite them in half. It’s evidently one of the best shows in Orlando today, and these aquatic impresarios thought it all up on their own. Enjoy!!! :)
