Quote:Do Dolphins Rape Other Dolphins?
The answer is yes. How?
Well, male dolphins form a strong bond with one other male dolphin while growing up. They will often go swimming without the rest of their peer group. When these two dolphins see an attractive female dolphin, they may swing on either side of her, trying to intimidate her until she gives in to their sexual advances. They may also take a more active and violent approach, with one dolphin swimming underneath the female and the other swimming over her. The dolphin swimming over the female will then force intercourse from the top, while the dolphin below blocks her attempts to swim away.
