A killer whale in Ontario displayed some pretty complex problem-solving skills spontaneously...and then the other whales learned his technique for catching sea gulls.

Killer whales are actually dolphins on steroids, rather than true "whales". Cool how they taught the other ones though. I just read a fascinating article in the National Geographic about orcas.

Good Lord, woman, are you suggesting these sea creatures take performace altering drugs to bulk up? I am outraged! I demand a retraction.

How about the dolphin version of Superman? Without the cape and tights of course. They wear tuxedos instead.

Hehehe... I knew somebody was going to jump on that. I just wanted to say that they are related to dolphins not whales.
