Dolphins: Another Species That’s Smarter Than Me.

At the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Mississippi, Kelly the dolphin has quite a reputation. All the institute’s dolphins are trained to hold onto any litter that falls into their pools until they see a trainer, when they can trade the litter for fish. Kelly took this task one step further. When people drop paper into the water she hides it under a rock at the bottom of the pool.

Why does she do it? Read the rest here.

And then consider that my ability to delay gratification is, oh, twenty-seven times LESS than that dolphin’s ability. Just give me the damned fish.
