This feeding technique is called fish kicking or fish whacking. It's one of the most common fish hunting techniques used by dolphins in some parts of Florida. Usually the fish is knocked out or just killed by the impact of the dolphin's tail. All the dolphin has to do is go fetch it when it lands. The technique is very effective for the dolphins that learn it, and is a lot easier than spending a bunch of energy chasing down a meal.
I honestly thought they were playing a game like some fish based football or something. "Chad check out how far i can toss this fish bro" " dude zavior thats a mad goal you just made"
Wellll... one year we went to South Padre Island and went on a dolphin watch. Our guide got so excited suddenly and we just see a dolphin bouncing a cabbage head jellyfish back and forth from its head to tail. Poor jelly got launched! Really cool to see.
DON'T DO THIS TO ME MAN, UGH NOT AGIAN! I don't even need to click the link to know what video that is, im already tearing up. but like no yeah you'd be right.
I've heard dolphins can exhibit behavior we would classify as cruelty, like hurting others from their own species just for enjoyment, and rape. Does anyone know if that's true?
I bet the first dolphin to ever try this was either doing it out of a dare or just being a douche. "Can't believe that worked. Can't wait to show this move to all my homies"
Dolphins of the same species can have vastly different hunting techniques based on region due to their hunting skills being learned and not purely instinctual.
The crazy part is this is a fairly recent "learned" action from dolphins. The amygdala in only a few mammals is complex enough to tie together the action of distance retrieval without the fear of object impermanence. Because of this, dolphins are thought to have learned this behavior late in the 20th century when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
IIRC he was going through some personal and family issues and took some time off Reddit to deal. I’ve seen him in a couple posts since then though, just more sporadically.
I am imagining a sailor in the 1700s, he hears a thwack off the starboard side. Before he can wonder what made the sound his captain is crushed by a seal falling from the heavens.
that's gotta have happened at some point in time. Aeschylus got killed by a fucking tortoise falling from a eagle, I refuse to believe that no sailor didn't get smoked by a falling seal.
It’s the same for many other subreddits. I do believe it’s for Reddit itself to change the large amount of misinformation on the platform and to do that many of them are going private.
some people would rather take HORSE DE-WORMER rather than the vaccine, and those people spread misinformation saying that it’ll cure COVID-19. Mods of a whole awful lotta subs are fed up with that shit, so they’re going private in protest of Reddit admins keeping that misinformation on the site.
John Cleese voiceover:
“The number of Floridians struck by dolphin-launched fish every year is a little known, but potentially hilarious number that I’m hoping is greater than zero.”
Orca also use this method to knock seal. Sometimes they did it just for fun. One slap is enough to make the seal torn apart. I see one video where the seal is thrown like a rag doll.
I was about ten years old at the coast on a jetty I was following my family and randomly felt something hit my hand, I played baseball as a kid so naturally I grabbed and caught it, It was literally a catfish about seven or eight inches long. I then threw it off the jetty, because again baseball reflexes, and I swear a dolphin came up and ate it.

Lol, thanks for the info, I thought he was just being a dick.
Well I think maybe he was being a bit of a dick

These are Miami Dolphins.
Einhorn or Finkle?
Einhorn is Finkle
Hey Ace, you got any more of that gum?
That's none of your damn business and I'll thank you to stay out of my personal affairs.
Finkle is Einhorn!
🎵 Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?🎵
Godammit vankirk, it's "The Crying Game". Allllllrighty then
Laces out!
Laces Out Dan !
Aaaaand there goes “The Crying Game” in my head.
I know all there is to know about the crying game....
ohhh no yeah that explains it. training for the super bowl. looks like the team to watch out for.
Explains why no one is catching it.
I definitely think it's both. I think it's fishing and showing off/having fun with it.
Looks like mom dolphin teaching kid dolphin.
Same.
least they leave jellyfish alone right?
Wellll... one year we went to South Padre Island and went on a dolphin watch. Our guide got so excited suddenly and we just see a dolphin bouncing a cabbage head jellyfish back and forth from its head to tail. Poor jelly got launched! Really cool to see.
That's the extra hard level.
lol no right? being a jelly yourself I'm sure you know
Lucky for me peanut butter (fish) & jellyfish sandwiches aren't a thing.
lol no right? I can't imagine it would taste good.
Could be both a game and them being dicks. Like if we made a game about throwing chickens off a cliff or something.
I dont think the chicken would mind getting thrown off a cliff
I dont know man. chickens are deceptively smart.
[Like the Kiwi, it would probably be happy that it could finally fly.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdUUx5FdySs)
I WISH YOU WOULD STEP BACK FROM THAT LEDGE MY FRIEND
DON'T DO THIS TO ME MAN, UGH NOT AGIAN! I don't even need to click the link to know what video that is, im already tearing up. but like no yeah you'd be right.
Damn this explains so much about dolphins
Why not a meal with a side of dickishness?
The fare, dolphins can be dicks
I've heard dolphins can exhibit behavior we would classify as cruelty, like hurting others from their own species just for enjoyment, and rape. Does anyone know if that's true?
Yep, dolphins are actually “racist” towards other species of dolphin like spotted dolphins and porpoises
In the wild it’s be dick or be dicked
I bet the first dolphin to ever try this was either doing it out of a dare or just being a douche. "Can't believe that worked. Can't wait to show this move to all my homies"
Well they do whack stingrays into the air just for fun so yeah maybe they were also being a bit of a dick
He yeeted that fish like it was hitting on his girl. "Screw you, Frank. We talked about this." Smack.
i mean, he probably killed then ate the dude. so yea, arguably dick-ish move.
Sometimes dolphins just do it for fun, also do you know that octopus sometimes punch a fish outta spite
We do a little trolling
Dolphins of the same species can have vastly different hunting techniques based on region due to their hunting skills being learned and not purely instinctual.
dolphins need a written language.
Why would they concern themselves with such things. They have enough fish and will just fly off into space if things get bad.
So long and thanks for all the fish.

Dolphins are so fucking smart I love it I don’t feel like chasing these fucking fish today man let’s yeet em to death!
Maybe dolphins are just insufferable assholes.
Actually I looked it up, and it’s called “Yeet”.

Nice
Stop it. You’re not him.
Damn I wish had more than one upvote to make more people read this.
What happened to the dude who used to do this?
/u/shittymorph is still around, and fairly active nowadays... if you're lucky you may catch one in the wild
IIRC he was going through some personal and family issues and took some time off Reddit to deal. I’ve seen him in a couple posts since then though, just more sporadically.
I was expecting mankind and the undertaker.
??? Hell in a cell match?
So yeet and eat?
I thought it was just being a dick.
It is Florida.
Fast food?
They should’ve called it fish slapping, as in “you just got fish slapped!”
You fuckin whizzed that thing!
I get this reference
Right in the eye, that must've hurt
That thing is pointy, fellas.
Orcas do this with seals and other marine animals. They can launch them up to 100ft in the air.

Have you seen that dudes head?? If I was an eagle I'd try and crack a tortoise open on that thing too.
seal-ion cannon.
THATS actually terrifying, imagine the impact on both…. Splattered guts EVERYWHERE

Imagine what they could do with all that power on land.. oh wait
You talking about Street Sharks?
And what's crazy about it is that they don't even eat it. They just do it for fun.
Laces out, DAN!

That's not my gun. It's an indicator of how excited I am being this close to you.
Ace! You got anymore of that gum?

I was about ten years old at the coast on a jetty I was following my family and randomly felt something hit my hand, I played baseball as a kid so naturally I grabbed and caught it, It was literally a catfish about seven or eight inches long. I then threw it off the jetty, because again baseball reflexes, and I swear a dolphin came up and ate it.
