Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal - DOLPHINS FOUND A GIANT ANACONDA AND DECIDED TO PLAY WITH IT
In Bolivia, Amazon river dolphins were caught on camera playing with a massive Beni anaconda like it was a pool noodle.
They took turns gently grabbing it with their mouths, swimming in sync, and basically treating the deadly snake like a new toy.
Scientists say it wasn’t hunting. It was curiosity, maybe teaching, maybe flirting. Yes, some of the dolphins got a little too excited.
The anaconda didn’t fight back and stayed floating on the surface, possibly stunned. It might not have made it.
This is the first time researchers have ever seen anything like it - dolphins playing with one of the Amazon’s most dangerous predators.
Nature stays weird.
