Balanced News: World-First Video of Dolphins Stealing From Crab Pots Leaves Scientists Fascinated

A video captured off the coast of Australia shows dolphins stealing bait from crab traps. The footage, taken by a camera mounted on the trap, shows the dolphins using their eyes, bodies, teeth, and beak to pilfer the pots. This behavior, while not new, has fascinated scientists who are interested in understanding the intelligence and problem-solving abilities of dolphins. One crabber has found a way to outsmart the dolphins by using a bait box with narrow steel cables, allowing crabs to access the bait while keeping the dolphins out. Experts hope to learn more about the human-dolphin relationship through such interactions.
