Dolphins ‘smile’ at each other when they play and to avoid misunderstanding, study finds

  • A study found that bottlenose dolphins make an open-mouthed expression, similar to a "smile," while playing, published in iScience.
  • Researchers observed that dolphins "smiled" when in their playmate's view, and playmates "smiled" back one third of the time.
  • The study revealed 92% of "smiling" instances occurred during play, not during aggressive or calm activities.
