Some dolphins in Australia have a special technique to flush fish from the sea floor. They hunt with a sponge on their beak, like a clown nose. Using the sponge to protect their beaks from sharp rocks, they root around on the sea floor to stir up barred sand perch for a meal. This behavior is passed down through generations is harder than it looks. The sponge interferes with the dolphins' echolocation system because it muffles the sound. It takes practice to compensate. Nature is amazing right?
