Do bottlenose dolphin get eaten

Answer 1

Not usually, though most can if they have to. Dolphins like the bottle-nose (Tursiops truncatus) are more likely to slap you with their beaks in fleshy places like your stomach, buttocks or the backs of your legs. Baleen whales like the gray (Eschrichtius robustus) can't bite because they have no teeth, just baleen. But that doesn't mean they can't retaliate if you anger them.

150 years ago, gray whales used to bring the bodies of dead whalers back to their own ships under cover of darkness, and slam them against their ships so hard they sank many ships that way. Either that or they would flip the bodies with their tails up into the highest rigging hoping to entangle them there to greet their shipmates at first light. Just remember not to mess with gray whales unless you want to find out for yourself why they were called "devilfish" and were the most feared creature in all of the seas.
