HALIFAX – Scientists have found evidence that two unlikely collaborators — killer whales and dolphins — may be helping each other find and feast on salmon off the coast of British Columbia.

Recordings picked up “this audible crunch as the whale bites down, then you see these fragments of fish that are released,” and then dolphins swim in to eat the pieces, Fortune said.

Chinook salmon are far too big for these dolphins to capture and swallow whole, and the whales are leaving them with manageable pieces.
