Dolphin teens get high by chewingpufferfish
A BBC nature documentary crew has captured footage of young dolphins passing around a pufferfish. They characterize the activity as "careful manipulation" and speculate that the dolphins are getting a small dose of the pufferfish's neurotoxin in order to enter a "trance-like state." The documentary was produced by John Downer, a highly nature documentarian, and a zoologist on the crew also confirms the "dolphins get high" hypothesis.Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/PWooihu811U/story01.htm
