"Dolphin Aggression: The Disturbing Trend of Attacking Baby Manatees"

Bottlenose dolphins have been observed attacking manatee calves near Belize over a 21-year period, displaying aggressive behavior such as attempting to separate calves from their mothers, harassing, ramming, and biting them. Scientists believe the attacks were intentional and may be due to competition for food, space, or resources. The aggressive interactions could impact the survival of the threatened Antillean manatee population, and understanding this behavior is crucial for conservation efforts.
