Robotic sea turtle spies on dolphins

Footage of a pod of bottlenose dolphins is taken from a hidden "spy" camera in a robotic sea turtle. John Downer’s new documentary for BBC1, “The Dolphins: Spy in the Pod,” is the result of 900 hours of such footage from cameras hidden in robotic sea turtles, fish and squid.

In one instance a pod of bottlenose dolphins was observed getting high on toxins produced by a specific kind of puffer fish. The dolphins were seen carefully chewing on a puffer fish and passing it around before entering an apparent “trance-like state.”

"Keo clearly sought out and took comfort and reassurance from her human friends. And she willingly swam up to the dock to allow veterinarians to check the baby's heart rate with ultrasound during labor."
