Handling of giant cuttlefish Sepia apama by Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin Tursiops aduncus. In this sequence, the prey is: (A) chased from the algal-covered substrate into the open, (B) pinned to the substrate and killed, (C) carried towards the surface, (D) beaten against the substrate with the dolphin’s snout to release ink, (E) returned to substrate, inverted and forced along the sand to remove skin and cuttlebone, and (F) consumed.
