Do you suppose if you were a bored captive dolphin you might make your own
toys too?

Yup, I think I would. Cool video though and they do look like they're having
fun.

A dolphin rescue guy was interviewed on NPR a few days ago. He was once the
primary dolphin catcher for Sea World and the trainer for the "Flipper" TV
series and movies. He says that the primary dolphin used on "Flipper"
committed suicide by just not breathing after being depressed. I know that I
was inside Sea World years ago and was splashed by a captive dolphin that a
trainer told me, "hated people".

Yet, still... I enjoy going to a zoo as long as it's kept well (Seattle's)
and especially the wild animal parks you have to drive through. And the
Monterrey Bay Aquarium is amazing. But then, after a visit to the aquarium I
can launch my kayak by the marina and then paddle through the kelp forest
tips and enjoy watching a live zoo that doesn't seem to mind me being there.
Even better than a man-made zoo but certainly not available to everyone.

Thanks for the link, Matt.

If I were a captive dolphin, I'd be plotting my escape instead of blowing 
bubbles.
Damn those humans.

Really amazing stuff! I wonder if the Blue Whales do that too!?! Would 
be an awful big bubble ring!
