Dolphins, which are supposedly the second-smartest creatures on the planet, can be seen doing a very dumb thing in this video.
You’d think that their echo-location abilities would enable them to sense other dolphins jumping around them.
After re-playing this video it occurred to me that it would be very possible if this “crash” was actually intentional. Bottle-nosed dolphins often hunt in packs and can kill sharks by ramming them, and an “accident” like this seems very planned.
This, of course, means that these two dolphins might be having a confrontation with each other. Sure, it seems a bit strange, but we humans are no different. If only the camera was water proof! I’d love to see a dolphin fight.
