Killer Dolphins Attacking Young

There’s something fishy going on off British coasts, as evidenced by the increasing number of young porpoises washing up on beaches. It appears that bottlenose dolphins are attacking vulnerable porpoises over what scientists believe is a shortage in their food supply, and smaller bottlenoses are being increasingly sought by predators. One victim was a rare Risso’s washed up on one of the Scilly Isles, bearing marks of an adult bottlenose attack. The dolphin’s agility, intelligence and size make it a formidable opponent, and experts say that attacks have been on the rise in the last 20 years. Today the dolphin, tomorrow the pug…is anything safe anymore?
