Australian scientists have determined that dolphins, already famous for their intelligence and depth of emotions, are also talented chefs of the sea!

Dolphins are the chefs of the seas, having been seen going through precise and elaborate preparations to rid cuttlefish of ink and bone to produce a soft meal of calamari, Australian scientists say.
A wild female Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin was observed going through the same series of complicated steps to prepare cuttlefish prey for eating in the Spencer Gulf, in South Australia state.
"It's a sign of how well their brains are developed. It's a pretty clever way to get pure calamari without all the horrible bits," Mark Norman, the curator of mollusks at Museum Victoria and a research team member, told the Canberra Times newspaper.

So are people. Even animals can be cruel to eachother. Makes you think home much of the world's specieces population (especialy humans) is due to forced intercourse.
That does take the soft focus sentimentality off dolphins.
