Awesome Dolphins

Dolphins create bubble rings by blowing air in a water vortex ring: by flipping a fin they create a vortex ring of water.

They then blow air in the ring, which goes to the center of the vortex ring. In the water vortex ring the natural location of the air is in the center of the vortex.

Yes, it's sort of a double.

BUT IT'S STILL SO COOL
