Unveiling Underwater Secrets: Dolphins’ Unusual Interaction with Pufferfish in ‘Dolphins: Spy in the Pod

The British “BBC” team spent many years filming the documentary “Dolphins: Spy in the Pod” to observe animal behavior in depth. While tracking a group of young male dolphins in South African waters that had been kicked out of their native group for not obeying the rules, the documentary accidentally captured the extremely rare sight of “dolphins taking drugs.”

In the documentary, the dolphins collectively played with the puffer fish, not only biting and shaking it wildly but also deliberately poking and biting it with their teeth. This poking and biting action induces the pufferfish to release the “tetrodotoxin” in its body, and the dolphins will eat these toxins like humans smoking a cigarette. The slight toxin makes them intoxicated but does not affect their survival instinct to avoid environmental dangers.

Questioning: The slight toxin can make dolphins feel intoxicated and addictive. Can we apply it to other things, such as marketing?

Associating: The luxury products are like addictive toxins, and the lower prices of luxury accessories are like slight toxins. The luxury brand could sell accessories at a more affordable price to reach and form new customers.
