flag A male grey seal is suspected of killing a common dolphin off Wales’ Pembrokeshire coast, marking the first recorded attack of its kind in Welsh waters. flag The 6-foot female dolphin was found with distinctive "corkscrew" injuries and bite marks matching those seen in past seal attacks on harbour porpoises. flag Marine experts believe a small group of adult male seals, possibly operating in the Bristol Channel region, may be responsible, with similar incidents reported in Devon and Ireland. flag Though grey seals typically feed on fish and squid, growing evidence suggests some males are targeting larger marine mammals, potentially using ambush tactics. flag The motive remains unclear, and researchers are investigating whether the behavior is learned. flag The dolphin’s carcass is under testing, with results expected in up to six months.
