Aussie dolphins know how to deliver a sucker punch to octopus preyMURDOCH UNIVERSITY CETACEAN RESEARCH A bottlenose dolphin with an octopus on its head. Scientists know that dolphins all over the world eat octopus, but no one had documented how they manage such a difficult meal. And just a few weeks ago in Australia, an octopus clung to a dolphin's back, dangerously close to its blowhole.

Whatever they're doing, Dr Sprogis is sure about one thing: In a battle of dolphin versus octopus, she'll put her money on the dolphin.
