Me too, but I don't get an article written about me

I had no idea dolphins and even fish could smell.

They smell like the toys in my mother's nightstand.

Sharks are supposed to be able to smell blood from a mile or more away - that's why throwing chum in the water is a good way to draw them in.

I hadn't thought about dolphins smelling though - I wonder if it's closer to tasting, maybe?

That gives the phrase "piss off" a whole new meaning.

I can't be bothered reading the article but could someone clarify for me: is the fountain of pee the means or the recipient of the communication?

Bruh... RTFA. It's seriously, like 3 minutes, and that's if you read the entire thing.

Wtf is that picture? Is that real, Orange dolphins?

It's gotta be AI. The whole dolphin looks... off. ~~That site must be satire.~~

Maybe not satire but wtf that image is odd.

It's a river dolphin. The water is probably dark with tannins.

I had no idea. Thank you!

Do the dolphins aim the pee fountain into the whale urine funnel?

What are the chances they figured out we're trying to decode their speech and they're trolling us?
