Wild dolphins tail-walk on water
A wild dolphin is apparently teaching other members of her group to walk on their tails, a behaviour usually seen only after training in captivity.
The tail-walking group lives along the south Australian coast near Adelaide.
One of them spent a short time after illness in a dolphinarium 20 years ago and may have picked up the trick there.

Amy Winehouse’s Island Rehab
‘They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no. I’m not gonna spend 10 weeks have everyone think I’m on the mend …’ Amy Winehouse, Rehab
The Causeway is the world’s first private island rehab facility, offering treatments for alcohol and drug addiction, stress and overworking and general psychological problems. Amy Winehouse, of course, has already been and gone.
She spent less than 48 hours at The Causeway before leaving in a helicopter for London to have a brain scan. She met up with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil who took her to the London Clinic. After a night in the capital she flew back to Osea but left after a further few days. Others fighting addictions have stayed. The island clinic is fast becoming the rehab of choice for celebrities and the very wealthy.
