People have not been killed in dolphin attacks, but bitten and pulled under water. Dolphins have killed porpoises and even other dolphins.

According to the National Geographic program Dolphin Attack, there is one confirmed case of a bottlenose dolphin killing an adult human male. However, it was a provoked attack. The wild dolphin was swimming close to the shore, and the man who saw it and waded in to get closer was drunk. The dolphin was apparently friendly, rolling over and allowing him to touch and stroke it, but he then tormented or hit it. The dolphin retaliated with a single ramming, before swimming away for good. The man died of internal injuries in hospital some hours later.

It should also be noted that the Killer Whale is a species of dolphin and not an actual whale, therefore there are recorded human deaths by dolphins, but due to mislabeling it would be seen as a whale attack rather than a dolphin attack.

What are the names of Jews killed in September 11attack?

I doubt that the ethnicity and religious allegiance of those killed in the Sept 11th attacks has been seriouusly collated. In the several thousand killed there would have been some Jews, as there would have been Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc and people of no religion. It is not important to know the exact proportion of allegiances of those killed, the important thing is to work to avoid the sort of hatred that triggered the attacks.

Number of wolf attacks on a human per year?

Weeeell, there have actually been no documented attacks at all. But this is only because the criteria for an attack to be recorded are ludicrously strict. I don't know all of the requirements for they are plentiful but I know that there cannot have been a wolf hunt in place at the time because wolves hunting will likely attack someone who walks in the scene, the wolf must be killed and examined for illnesses such as rabies AND the victim must also have been killed.Answer:North American natives have an oral history of wolf attacks. The most recent wolf attack in North America was on February 2006. The victim was partly eaten.
