Dolphins use fish that produce toxins to become "high"

A new BBC documentary presents a behavior of teenage dolphins that was unknown to us until today. Young dolphins chew puffer fish. Nothing strange so far. However, these fish secrete a toxin that "stuns" young dolphins.

The upcoming BBC documentary shows young male dolphins hanging around a puffer fish before they start behaving "strangely." The producer of the proof (Spy in the Pod) John Downer points out that dolphins in this way come to ecstasy, according to TheVerge.

Dolphins are not the first who are caught using “drugs.” For many years, intoxication has been observed from consuming fermented apples.
The BBC video was able to shoot using a remote-controlled camera dressed in something sea (tuna, turtle, squid) to film the animals without disturbing them.
