Dolphins play football!
You heard it hear first folks.
OK, so they use their flippers and jellyfish instead of feet and pigs bladders, but the difference is much the same.
The new behavioural trait was witnessed for the first time when marine biologists studying the dolphins off the coast of Wales found that when bottle-nose dolphins were speeding along in front of their boats (why do they do that?) any jellyfish in their way get head-butted or tail flipped into the air.
The marine biologists believe this behaviour may go back hundreds of thousands of years and may explain why they are so agile with beach balls in captivity.
for those of you who still don't believe me here's proof (video is silent):
pretty astonishing stuff.
I wonder if they've evolved the off-side rule yet?
