Hey, those dolphins are looking like invading and taking over the land any time now. This latest observed behaviour, while not certain whether it is passed on from adult to offspring, is similar to another behaviour observed in dolphins a while back (also mentioned in this article), which was seen to be passed on through generations i.e. cultural.
Add the ol’ dolphins on to the list of animals that have met (the rather strict) prerequisites for culture.
Humans, Chimps, probably Gorillas and Orangutans, and Dolphins.

In the first evidence of cultural learning among dolphins, a study in 2005 showed that mothers teach their daughters the trick of breaking off the sponges and wearing them.

I can never see this done because it will ruin the glorious ninja like scene that I have in my head.
