Hidden cameras captured a pod in action as they got 'high ' from nerve toxins released by a pufferfish in waters off Southeast Africa . In the incredible scene , filmed for a Discovery Channel special , the sea creatures are seen rolling on their backs with their eyes closed in an apparent state of bliss . The footage was shot at the University of Hawaii and shows how these animals can be used to study human health issues such as cancer or even help fight disease. The footage , from Dolphins : Spy in the Pod , was taken by wildlife filmmaker John Downer .
