Dr. Diana Reiss has conducted research on dolphin cognition all over the world, including at the National Aquarium.   One of the studies Dr. Reiss has conducted examines something she calls “bubble ring play.”    The National Aquarium’s youngest dolphin, Bayley, when she was just 2 years old, was already doing some pretty sophisticated behaviors with bubble rings.
