The smartest animal in the world has recently been caught using pufferfish to get high. The dolphins chew on the pufferfish, which are known to release a toxin that protects themselves from harm. In small doses, the nerve toxin seems to have a narcotic like effect on the dolphins. The dolphins pass the pufferfish around, all chewing on it, then in a study done while filming a new BBC series on marine life, the dolphins were seen hanging out near the surface with their noses it. It seems that they were mesmerized by their own reflection. The dolphins also know their drugs, going specifically to the pufferfish and making sure to handle it with care.

A leading conservation group has now officially declared the Western Black Rhinoceros extinct. And two other rhino subspecies are very close to the same fate. The Javan Rhino is now extinct in Vietnam, with only a small declining population surviving on the Indonesian island of Java. And the Northern White Rhino of central Africa is possibly extinct in the wild. All of the rhinos are becoming extinct because they are being poached for their horns. The Western Black Rhino's population was down to 10 in the year 1980. And the Javan Rhino's population currently sits around 40-60. In Henan Province, China, a zoo staff member put their dog, a Tibetan Mastiff, in the cage to pose a an African Lion. Zoo visitors complained when the lion started to bark. "The zoo is absolutely cheating us. I took my son there so he could hear the different sounds animals made but when we reached the cage where the African Lion was supposed to be, the big animal in there started barking." In the Gray Wolf cage another dog could be found, a mongrel dog. In the leopard cage yet another dog could be found posing as a big cat. In the reptile house, the zoo used two giant sea cucumbers to pose as snakes.
