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?
They smell like the toys in my mother's nightstand.
Do the dolphins aim the pee fountain into the whale urine funnel?
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?
Is it just three paragraphs or am I missing something here? It feels like it ends abruptly especially for a SA article
