Dolphins play with bubble rings (video)

January 28th, 2008

You’ve all seen someone blow smoke rings, even if it was only in a movie. Well, the same physics seem to apply underwater. This video appears to show dolphins blowing bubbles underwater, and then using a jet of water to turn them into bubble rings - donut shaped bubbles (or torus-shaped, if you want to be scientific about it). They dolphins are very skilled at it, and look like they’re having fun, too.
