SeaWorld Dolphins Are Bubblicious

ORLANDO (CBS4) ― It's known that dolphins are highly intelligent mammals, now a group of young dolphins at SeaWorld Orlando are proving that fact once again.

They know that you don't need gum to create a bubble because the young dolphins have taken bubble-making to the extreme.

Two young juveniles have been observed creating underwater bubbles with their blowholes. Then they use their rostrum, also known as their snouts, to manipulate and play with the bubbles.

They're spinning them, making them smaller and larger, swimming through them and popping them.
 
This is a phenomenon that has intrigued scientists watching dolphins in the wild and now is fascinating millions of guests at SeaWorld Orlando, according to the marine life theme park.
