London: Dolphins are considered to be the most intelligent animals in the animal world and experts believe that using this intelligence, they have found a way to become intoxicated.
In extraordinary footage filmed in a documentary, young dolphins are shown flirting with a special type of puffer fish that emits a nerve-damaging toxin.
Although large amounts of the venom can be fatal, small amounts are known to produce a narcotic effect, and it seems that dolphins have found a way to extract the required amount of venom from the puffer fish. Can be done.
The dolphins pass the fish to each other by carefully chewing it, after which they go into a state of unconsciousness.
The dolphins’ behavior was filmed for BBC One by award-winning wildlife documentary producer John Downer.
Rob Play, an ornithologist who has also worked as a producer for the BBC, said that after gently chewing on the puffer, the dolphins behaved very strangely. They stood with their noses on the surface of the water as if suspended or bewildered by their own reflection.
