Dear list members, we observed and filmed what looked like grieving behaviour by a striped dolphin towards a conspecific.
The video can be viewed at: http://vimeo.com/dolphinbiology/grievingstripeddolphin While we are aware of similar behaviours by other cetacean species, we would be interested in learning about cases of apparent grieving involving striped dolphins Stenella coeruleoalba. Thank you for any information you may provide.
