As Nahiid Stephens the pathologist was working on the autopsy of the dolphin and had discovered that one of the tentacles was about 4.2 feet long. Stephens did a post mortem on the dolphin and realized that octopus was clever enough to latch onto the dolphin's larynx in which stopped him from breathing correctly. The dolphin may have been found dead, but the octopus's sucker was still functioning. It has been seen that a dolphin is able to eat an octopus,but they are able to eat them by breaking up their mollusks as they toss them in the air and tear them into tiny pieces. Many scientists find it very cocky for dolphins to believe that they can eat octopus with no problem.
