Dolphins at Sea World learning how to blow bubble rings by watching each other

Over a year ago, I posted a video about how dolphins can blow bubbles rings underneath water and play with them as toys. I said at the time that dolphins were incredibly smart for being able to figure this trait out on their own.

Well, it turns out that dolphins are even smarter than previously thought because they can in fact learn and/or teach this trick to other dolphins. According to Sea World trainers, other dolphins who could not blow bubbles have learned how to do it by watching the dolphins who could.

That’s pretty darn great. Watch the video above to see clip after clip of dolphins blowing bubbles. Man, when was the last time I was at Sea World? Like…before I was a teen I think. Geez.
