They almost look like they are using the bubble rings as a toy.  If you
watch, it looks like a dolphin blew a bubble ring, then subsequently shooped
up some of the air.  I can't explain how else the ring looks like it
decreased in size.

Orcas are cousins to the dolphins.  They blow bubbles as a tool, to confuse
and herd schools of fish, which they then devour.

It's worse than that Stuart.  They stack the jury with dolphins.  A
land-based mammal hasn't a chance.
