The dolphins & the mystery of the Silver Rings

The young dolphin gives a quick flip of her head, and an undulating silver ring appears--as if by magic--in front of her. The ring is a solid, toroidal bubble two feet across--and yet it does not rise to the surface! It stands erect in the water like the rim of a magic mirror, or the doorway to an unseen dimension. For long seconds the dolphin regards its creation, from varying aspects and angles, with its vision and sonar. Seemingly making a judgement, the dolphin then quickly pulls a small silver donut from the larger structure, which collapses into small bubbles. She then "pushes" the donut, which stays just inches ahead of her rostrum, perhaps 20 feet over a period of up to 10 seconds. Then, stopping again, she regards the twisting ring for a last time and bites it--causing it to collapse into a thousand tiny bubbles which head--as they should--for the water's surface. After a few moments of reflection, she creates another.

sweet!

I'm a romantic. I like dolphins. They are cool.

I wish I had echolocation!

I think dolphins have a greater intelligence than we think. And perhaps more weird abilities...

greater intelligence then we think? We already know they are on par with us, sentient and everything, just dont have civilization and technology and all that because it's not really nessacery with them

Great article, UP!

Thanks Byrd.

The dolphins are sensitives and intelligents.They don't do war, when they can help us, they do it. They like to play...I like them, really.

So, when I found this site, I knew that I had to post it on ATS.

If you ( or someone else ) have something about them, just post it, I'll be happy to read what you post.
