LEAPING FOR A TIT-BIT.—Bobo, the star performer of the five dolphins at the aquarium at Tweed Heads, on Queensland’s Gold Coast, leaps for a small fish offered by a visitor. In addition to thrilling the crowd with prodigious leaps for herring held 12ft or more above the water, Bobo plays a ball game, races her keeper along the edge of the pool, and allows herself to be picked up and cuddled. Her keeper has so much faith in the accuracy of her leaps, that he holds proffered fish in his fingers, but this visitor prefers to hold the fish on the end of a small stick.
