Marines Labels dolpins as the prime suspect for the murder of a pilot Whale

An injured pilot whale found this week on Scotland's Isle of Skye looks to have been the victim of a bottlenose dolphin attack, BBC reports.
Marine officials observed bite marks on the three-year-old female's body, and while final autopsy results are not yet complete, the nature of the marks points to bottlenose dolphins as the culprits.
The pilot whale had to be euthanized due to the extent of her injuries.
 
       Scottish waters hold the most northerly population of bottlenose dolphins, and they will on occasion interact with whales. It's unclear whether the injuries sustained by the whale came from playing with the dolphins or from an attack.
Officials said if results show bottlenose dolphins did cause the whale's death, it would be only the second such case in the U.K.
"Dolphins are wonderful creatures," conservation expert Charlie Phillips told the BBC, "but people should remember that they are not these fluffy cartoon characters, they have a dark side too."
