Since at least 2006, a video clip has been making the rounds showing dolphins creating and playing with bubble rings. The video was published just one year after YouTube was created. Before the prominence of social media, it was shared by email: We don't know the specific origins of this video clip, but bottlenose dolphins' producing and manipulating bubble rings is indeed a real phenomenon that has been observed and described by researchers, as noted in the 2000 article Bubble Ring Play of Bottlenose Dolphins: Implications for Cognition, published in the Journal of Comparative Psychology: A 1996 episode of Noorderlicht featured Dr. Ken Marten explaining the bubble rings and the intelligence of dolphins. The TV show was a Dutch scientific documentary series. The bubble rings moments begin at 3:59 in the video: In jest, Marten said that the capabilities of dolphins to perform hydrodynamic tricks could qualify them to be professors of fluid mechanics at a university.
