Carnivals? No.

But Yes, dolphins are carnivores. They eat fish, not vegetation.

Their teeth are small and sharp, angled backwards towards their jaws - when catching and killing fish, they actually use a grinding action to work the softer flesh against the back of their jaws, crushing their bones with the combined pressures.

A common technique to catch fast fish is to hunt in pods of dolphins. They work together to gather schools of fish tighter and tighter, sometimes antagonizing them for hours until the fish cling together tighter and tighter with exhaustion and fear; hormonally the fish react slower and they bump into each other more. At that point, the dolphins dart into this 'fish ball' one-at-a-time, catching fish much more easily than hunting after one fish at a time. It's quite a sight to see!
