This dolphin could give some Olympic basketball players a run for their money - as he loves nothing more than shooting hoops using his nose.
The clever dolphin clearly has mastered the art of basketball and scores point after point flipping the ball up through the hoop with his nose.
Amateur photographer Sergio Longhi, 44, captured the athletic animal's incredible sporting feat as it splashed around with keepers at a sanctuary in Cuba.

Sergio, from Sezana, Slovenia, said: 'I love dolphins, and my wife Elizabeth and I had gone to see them splashing around at this sanctuary.
'They are such clever animals, and we were so pleased to see some of them jumping about in the water with their trainers.
'But we were stunned when one trainer threw a ball in with the dolphin and he started performing like this - the animals obviously enjoy the stimulation, and it was a pleasure to watch.
