Postmortem evidence of interactions of bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus) with other dolphin species in south‐west England
Reports of violent interactions between bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ) and harbour porpoises ( Phocoena phocoena ) in the coastal waters of the UK are well documented.
