Wtf is that picture? Is that real, Orange dolphins?

It's gotta be AI. The whole dolphin looks... off. ~~That site must be satire.~~

Maybe not satire but wtf that image is odd.

It's a river dolphin. The water is probably dark with tannins.

I had no idea. Thank you!

Me too, but I don't get an article written about me

That gives the phrase "piss off" a whole new meaning.

Is it just three paragraphs or am I missing something here? It feels like it ends abruptly especially for a SA article

I had no idea dolphins and even fish could smell.

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Sharks are supposed to be able to smell blood from a mile or more away - that's why throwing chum in the water is a good way to draw them in.

I hadn't thought about dolphins smelling though - I wonder if it's closer to tasting, maybe?

They smell like the toys in my mother's nightstand.

I can't be bothered reading the article but could someone clarify for me: is the fountain of pee the means or the recipient of the communication?

Bruh... RTFA. It's seriously, like 3 minutes, and that's if you read the entire thing.
