Since 2017, a dolphin called Bubbles has been seen near Lady Elliot Island; from 2021 to 2025, researchers documented him chasing fish until they regurgitated food

Bubbles, a wild bottlenose dolphin, has captivated researchers with his peculiar technique of fishing off the coast of Lady Elliot Island, Australia. By using echolocation and low-frequency calls, he excites his prey until they vomit, showcasing a rare kleptoparasitic method. This remarkable behavior has been consistently recorded over years, leading scientists to investigate whether it is unique to Bubbles or part of a larger dolphin behavior pattern.
