How does it eat/hunt:  Dolphins usually use one of two techniques, one is called herding and the other corralling.  Herding is when a pod of dolphins surround a school of fish and slowly trap them. Corralling is when the dolphins chase their prey until it is trapped by the shoreline.  Each tactic ends in the same, the dolphin eating through its mouth starting the digestive process.

How does it use what it eats:  They use food very similar to humans, for energy and to maintain muscle.
