Dolphins Squeezing Puffer Fish

Dolphins have been observed on multiple occasions2 carrying puffer fish in their mouths, squeezing them, and passing them along to other dolphins. It is speculated that the dolphins are trying to get the puffer fish to release a small burst of neurotoxin, which puts them into a trance-like state.

This behavior was recorded in a BBC documentary produced by zoologist Robert Pilley, who commented “This was a case of young dolphins purposefully experimenting with something we know to be intoxicating. After chewing the puffer and gently passing it round, they began acting most peculiarly, hanging around with their noses at the surface as if fascinated by their own reflection. The dolphins were specifically going for the puffers and deliberately handling them with care. Dolphins seem to be experts on how to prepare puffers and how to handle them.”3

Since the toxin released by the puffer fish is deadly in large doses, the dolphins would indeed need to handle the fish delicately in order to avoid lethal poisoning. www.animalcognition.org...

The far more sinister thing is dolphins getting addicted to handjobs from humans!

"PETER"!

I had a pet goat that would guzzle mead like a Viking.
More than one dog has been on the receiving end of Wilba's drunken brawls.
Let's just say I know where I am placing my bets on a drunk goat against any dog that thinks it's tough.
I had to use a big stick to stop her from likely killing a German Shepard.

Goats are cool. You reminded me. One of my best friends growing up had this wild mannered Husky, who loved to party. He could actually say "bud" "weiiiis" "ser" to get actual Budweiser. He was a take off menace that even with the shock perimeter collar he'd still run off miles down the road (presumably getting shocked the whole time and getting off on it like a scene from Crank 2 High Voltage).

I’ve gave a camel a beer before outside Fort Sill, fun times.

Dogs tripping on toads? what a load of-oh wait



I've seen this personally, my fathers' friend had a dog that did it, it would have never passed a drug test, it acted like it was a woodstock flashback.
