Dolphins think they're so cool, jumping and spinning all over the ocean. That's because, well ... OK, they are pretty cool. But the aptly named river dolphin of the Amazon is a little more laid back. It doesn't have all the space that ocean dolphins do to flip around, so it's got kind of a lazy tubing vibe going on. And even if it isn't about showing off, unlike other dolphins it can turn its head, which is something to brag about. Check out this week's episode of Absurd Creatures to learn more!
Find every episode of Absurd Creatures here. And I’m happy to hear from you with suggestions on what to cover next. If it’s weird and we can find footage of it, it’s fair game. You can get me at matthew_simon@wired.com or on Twitter at @mrMattSimon.
