DAILY BEAST : FOOTAGE OF FISH BEING HUNTED AND EATEN BY DOLPHINS  by Mattie Bender

THEY ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF EATING FISH...

"Squeals continued as the dolphin seized, manipulated and swallowed the prey.  If fish escaped, the dolphin continued the chase and sonar clicks were heard less often than the continuous terminal buzz and squeal.

Fish continued escape swimming even as they entered the dolphin's mouth, yet the dolphin appeared to such the fish right down."

HAPPY DOLPHIN
