Scientists have learned how dolphins prepare a dish of deadly octopus.
Dolphins like to eat such delicacies as live octopus. However, this dish can be deadly — if you don’t know how to cook it.
Dolphins know.
Off the coast of Australia, scientists have observed bottlenose Dolphin, which was shaking and parasial high in the air caught octopus. Thus the animal tried to break the resistance of the prey, in order then quietly to eat it.
If this is not done, the attempt to dine octopus can be deadly for a Dolphin, explain the authors — zoologists from the Australian University of Murdoch and Monash University.
In 2015, they recorded a similar case. Octopus stuck with the suction cups on the legs to the head of a male Dolphin and actually strangled him. Sucker and acted even after the octopus was dead.
The dolphins, who before the meal is prepared from octopus “steak”, thereby suppressing the reflexes of extraction, scientists say. Furthermore, these animals prey on the octopus, when health last least hard — during or after their mating periods.
