In short, dolphins are like humans and crows in that they're too smart for their own good and really spend a huge amount of time making up their own games to stave off the boredom.
And otters. Man can they play. I wonder if otters and dolphins were in the same environment how they would interact...
wait, sea otters and dolphins do live in the same environment but don't seem to interact much, if my few minutes of internet searching is any indication. Why not? Seems like they'd make great playmates.

I'd like to give an iPad to an octopus. It would have Cashmere's Amazon account hacked faster than Owen.
