Description:Across their world-wide distribution, bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops spp.) use a variety of techniques to detect, pursue, and capture prey. Dolphins may hunt independently or in groups, and specialized foraging behaviors have been identified at both the population and individual levels. These behaviors can involve tool use (Patterson & Mann, 2011), coordinated herding of prey (Engleby & Powell, 2019), benthic foraging techniques (Rossbach & Herzing, 1997), and even cooperative interactions with fisherman.
