Atlantic spotted dolphins and bubble ring in Little Bahama Bank, Bahamas
Happy Pi Day! To celebrate, we visit the balmy waters of Little Bahama Bank, Bahamas. Two Atlantic spotted dolphins were photographed here blowing a bubble ring, also known as a toroidal bubble. Scientists can’t be certain why Atlantic spotted dolphins blow bubble rings, but they surmise that the playful dolphins may do it just for fun. Humpback whales, on the other hand, have been well documented using bubble rings to corral schools of fish into a ‘bubble net’ before gobbling them up.
