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

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!
I had no idea dolphins and even fish could smell.
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?
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.
Uhhhh
"Recently researchers documented Amazon River dolphins (Inia geoffrensis) performing a curious behavior: aerial urination. A male turns on its back at the water’s surface and ejects a stream of pee into the air—and almost 70 percent of the time, the team reported in Behavioural Processes, a nearby male “receiver” approaches this spontaneous fountain."
Oh gawd I am dying over here lol
What are the chances they figured out we're trying to decode their speech and they're trolling us?
Do the dolphins aim the pee fountain into the whale urine funnel?
Is it just three paragraphs or am I missing something here? It feels like it ends abruptly especially for a SA article
