Dolphins possess the most sophisticated sonar system known to man, and are used by the US Navy to locate mines in deep water. This bottlenose dolphin was clearing shipping lanes during the war in Iraq in 2003.

I think eating chimps is awful! I hope he wasn't carrying the baby around till he had time to eat it too. how traumatised it must be to have seen its mother murdered.
