While shooting for a new BBC documentary series, Spy in the Pod the researchers found that dolphins passed the pufferfish among them. According to experts, the toxins that emerge from the pufferfish give a high or a 'trance-like state' for these aquatic animals. Pufferfish emit these toxins for their own defence but now it seems that dolphins love the effect of that on themselves. Dolphins thus nudge the fish with their snouts and enjoy the toxins that are released by it. Soon as the fact was shared on Twitter, netizens were amused too. Chihuahua Accidentally Consumed Marijuana Edible! Video of Stoned Dog Goes Viral.
