When Humpback whales migrate along the Australian coast in their thousands, dolphins join the shoals of their large relatives. This is not an isolated case. In a recent study [1], two researchers from Griffith University in Australia searched social media and found 199 usable reports of encounters between whales and dolphins from 17 countries over a two-decade period, mainly Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). In most cases, the interactions can be interpreted as communal feeding, play, and harassment. The researchers conclude that interactions between these species are by no means as rare as previously thought.
