Why marine biologists know dolphins are scarier than sharks

We tend to cringe in fear at the sight of a shark, but smile lovingly at a dolphin. Dolphins are incredibly intelligent and social, but with this combination comes a pretty dark side - attacking humans, raping each other, killing their babies and other species. It's time to dig deeper than our first assumptions and realise that sharks are way cooler than we give them their credit for, and dolphins are way scarier than many of us realise.
