Bottlenose dolphin (and seaweed toy)

Playful animals, dolphins are known to swim past humans with "toys" to share. This particular Bottlenose dolphin zoomed past me and released this piece of seaweed in my proximity. I snatched it and swam futiley after him, waving the seaweed, trying to show how much I wanted to play. He looked back and swam off, disgusted with my inefficient stroke.
