Abstract in brief

  • The study reports that nine bottlenose dolphin calves stranded in Virginia in 1996 and 1997 suffered severe blunt force trauma mainly on the head and chest, with signs of bilateral rib fractures, lung injuries, and soft tissue damage.
  • The injuries were not caused by predation, boat strikes, or other common human-related or environmental incidents but resembled injuries linked to violent interactions among dolphins, similar to cases in other marine mammals like harbor porpoises.
  • The findings suggest that these injuries resulted from infanticide, indicating that violent dolphin behavior, including killing young calves, occurs among bottlenose dolphins in the western North Atlantic.]

Интересный факт: дельфины самцы убивают своих детенышей, чтобы снова спариваться с самкой. Нападают на людей и убивают морских свиней, они их не едят, а просто так убивают. Так что будьте осторожны.
