- CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) - Researchers at the South Carolina Aquarium have documented a unique feeding strategy of dolphins in the Charleston Harbor.
Dolphins can be seen using the side of a docked commercial shipping vessel to help catch their prey, according to South Carolina Aquarium Educator and Scientist Meghan Galipeau.
Described as an adaptive strategy they developed in an urbanized estuary, the dolphins corner a fish by chasing it against the side of a ship. Oftentimes, the fish will try to escape by jumping out of the water.
"It's never been documented that the dolphins are using this type of commercial shipping vessel to do that," Galipeau said. "That's what makes this unique and special to seeing that happen here."
