Drone video captures dolphins sharing fish and getting frisky in Mexico
It turns out humans are not the only creatures that use food as foreplay. Researchers in southwestern Mexico have recorded a group of rough-toothed dolphins sharing a meal and getting frisky. A drone camera caught two dolphins passing a piece of fish back and forth in what may be the first video of the conduct. The repast seemed to inspire some amorous behavior, as well, with two males initiating sexual encounters with another member of the pod. Rough-toothed dolphins spend up to 80 percent of their time in the ocean depths, making them extremely difficult to study.
