What is it with dolphins? The bottlenose dolphins are super cute but are also crazed killers. Their number one target is the closely related marine animal, the porpoise. Bottlenose dolphins have been filmed attacking porpoises even when the porpoise is swimming away. The dolphin is also malicious in how they attack, doing many things that aren’t necessary to complete the kill.

The most recent porpoise attack has shocked scientists because porpoises showed signs of blunt-force trauma, and bites and scrapes “focused on the genital area” which means bottlenose dolphins are sexual sadists. So that’s not cool.
