Puffer fish contains poison that makes it dangerous for humans to eat them. According to the documentary, after the dolphins played with puffer fish, the dolphins got high. This may be true, as some animals also consume berries that give them a natural high. I believe 80% of documentaries, as they are made by research and long hard work.
