Dolphin Flop

I recently visited the Vancouver Aquarium, where I was treated to the rare sight of a dolphin defecating in front of hundreds of people. During the dolphin show, three of the dolphins jumped out of the water onto the dock, where they proceeded to lift their tails high in the air. One they had achieved that, one of the dolphins squeezed out a juicy dump.
This was not the only scene for animals taking craps. We went to the underwater viewing area and saw one of the otters swimming around it’s tank. It passed us by several times, but on the third or so pass, it decided to dump. My face was separated from an otter and it’s bowel movement by a few inches and some reinforced glass.
This served to remind me that the ocean is chock full of crap. Even if we stopped ocean dumpage, there would still be animals dumping in the ocean. Furthermore, if mermaids were real, they would likely be swimming around in their own feces all the time. I saw the Little Mermaid, and while I saw a version of a powder room where Ariel could apply her underwater makeup, I saw no facilities. Meaning: Ariel just goes anywhere she pleases, like a horse in a parade. She probably continued to do it after she got her land legs.
Interesting.
