Dolphins do drugs. They even practice "Puff puff pass"

When dolphins want to get high, they harass and gently bite pufferfish. In defence, the pufferfish releases a toxic compound known as tetrodotoxin. In large quantity, tetrodotoxin is very toxic and can kill. In small quantities however, it gets dolphins high. They have perfected this method of making the pufferfish release small tetrodotoxin to get high. They then pass the fish around to the next "brother" or sister for their own "drag"

The tree commonly known as Socratea exhorrhiza is often referred to as the Walking Palm or the Squirrel Tail Palm. It is native to the rainforests of Central and South America, particularly in regions like Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. It is called the Walking Palm due to a unique characteristic where it appears to "walk" by growing new roots on one side and then slowly leaning in that direction over time.
