[CINC] Stump the naturalist

[Paul Jr. Petrich]

Hi All  from the Adriatic,

 I don't know what factually will come up, but I hope we share with the girl, that very, very seldom do any marine creatures "kill when   they want to":only humans do that regularly  just for sport. Even the playful   dolphin kill, for survival, things smaller then themselves. Hope we let the little girl realize there are no "bad guys and good guys" under the sea. Out here in the Tyrannian and Ionian Seas, as well as the Adriatic, only one marine mammal on lots and lots of boat trips in six months, and that one was spotted from shore. Tell her they are all gone here, not because they killed each other! Food for thought when considering Kathrine French's whale news request.  Paul

A girl on the CX yesterday asked me "which dolphin plays with the Orcas and could kill one if they wanted to?"
Any takers?
Sally
