Most people know you shouldn’t use an iPad to take a photo anywhere, much less right next to the dolphin pen at SeaWorld. One woman didn’t know this but now she does, thanks to a quick-thinking dolphin that ripped the device from her hands and dragged it into his tank.
The woman quickly retrieved it and tried to walk away like nothing happened, but let’s face it: That iPad—and the woman’s day—are likely ruined.

Either way, he taught the woman—and all of us—a valuable lesson: never trust a dolphin.
