Dolphins chew on pufferfish and then spit them out. Marine biologists think they do it to get stoned. The pufferfish secrete a neurotoxin and apparently the dolphins get a buzz off of it.

not as bad as seismographing for off shore wind farms
Because what else would you expect.
I live on high-bank waterfront on Whidbey Island, in Washington State. I have seen Orca whales come right up to the shore to scratch their backs on the rocky beach. Quite a sight to see!
I have the soundtrack nomination right here.
Scratch My Back by Slim Harpo. #1 on the R&B charts for two weeks in 1966.

Sounds like a first date thing...
Article:
“Climate change poses another threat”
This could have been a decent article—but could not resist throwing in insane leftist propaganda.
That’s nothing.
My basset hound, Georgie, pushed a chair from the dining room, through the living room and into the kitchen so he could use it as a ladder to climb on the countertop to eat $12 worth of homemade bread I got from the farmer’s market.
Using tools is not unique to humans and not even to hominids.
All sorts of species make and use tools.
Scientists’ shock at orcas’ kelp tool-making reveals their anthropocentric bias. Even corvids bend twigs into tools, and orcas, with larger brains and complex social structures, are far more cognitively advanced.
Most shocking is that these scientists are unaware of this bias, which hinders the scientific method and risks skewing their conclusions.
Call me when they create a tool box.

which just goes to show...
..orcas are smarter than current day academics and “ scientists “.
soon the average fruit fly will be smarter than the regressive academics and “ scientists “
see what Godless reprobate secular humanists, marxism and DEI does to the brain ?

In almost every documentary or nature article these days, all is very informative when, (as in documentaries) with about 10 minutes to go, there is mention of climate change or the human’s threat to the animal. As in this article, it never fails to happen.
>> Because what else would you expect.
We’re all gonna be fried (or drowned) in 4.67 years... to heck with the allokelping whales. In fact, since our time is so short, I say let’s EAT those orcas! I have grilling tools and I know how to use ‘em for socializing!
I just ignore that stuff....................
Um...it says right in the video that they chew on them!

“Um...it says right in the video that they chew on them!”
It says right in the video that they hold them gently in their mouth and rarely hurt them.
This is confirmed by the video feed. Nowhere are they seen chewing on them.
