dan,
yeah the glove is latex-coated. but when they appeared, one had a piece of a white plasticbag on his fin.
thats how i caught the idea that they practice this game. they passed the glove from one to each other, and always passed it very skilful form their mouth to the sidefins and the tail.

the few times i met dolphins close, i realized that they tend to react to different ways how i aproached them.
using the dolphinkick and swimming upsidedown is one way to catch their attention. making beeping and klicking noise can also catch their interest. works with some whales too.
