Open Post: Hosted By The Dolphins Who Love Fidget Spinners

Unlike humans, dolphins don’t actually need weird toys like these, since their bodies are already natural fidget spinners but a million times more fun and graceful. But in the spirit of cute and smart animals who can’t help but be fascinated, annoyed (and sometimes grossed out) by the overly inventive outpourings of the human brain, a couple of frolicsome dolphins at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta happily indulged a visitor and her anxiety-busting spinner toy (no, not that one). The Daily Mail shares the fun little episode captured between dolphins and human:

This is the adorable moment a pair of dolphins become fascinated by a fidget spinner outside their tank. Footage taken at the Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta, shows two dolphins following the device as it spins against the glass. A visitor hold [sic] up the toy and the captivated duo watch, keeping close to the glass.

In the video, uploaded on December 10, the person moves the toy up and down and the animals nod as they watch. One dolphin floats on its back throughout the encounter and follows the fidget spinner with its eyes. It waves its fins around as though the animal is trying to clap with excitement.

The person holding the toy holds a camera in their hands and gets lots of up [sic] close-up shots of the captivated animals. They said: ‘While viewing the dolphins at the Georgia Aquarium they noticed my fidget spinner and seemed to really like it.’

Here is the clip, demonstrating once again beyond any doubt that dolphins can entertain both themselves and all of us far more effectively than we can ever hope to accomplish:
