Humans aren’t the only ones who enjoy a game of soccer (or football, depending on where you’re from). A new video has surfaced showing dolphins “kicking” around a ball—only the ball, in this case, is a jellyfish.
From the Daily Mail:
A team of marine biologists were astonished to see a dolphin swim under a jellyfish and with a quick flick of its tail shoot it out of the water. The bottlenose dolphins were caught on video performing the strange activity off the Welsh coastline. One dolphin was able to flip the jellyfish six feet up in the air.

It’s fun to see dolphins playing. What a great video! I’m suprised they don’t get stung by the jellyfish.

looks like those jerk dolphins were trying to flip the jellyfish into the boat. They’re hooligans.
