At Torniy Pines State Beach on Sunday, footage caught the carnivorous animals separating chunks of the dolphin 30 to 40 yards from the sand. The animals were seen bobbing up and down in the water minutes minutes before the nine-and-a-half dolphin washed up on the beach, according to a video shared by officials. The shark is the ocean's top predator, and they will eat injured animals and young animals, and they will attack them by surprise,' oceanographer Manuel Lazcano told FOX 5 San Diego.

The Pet Shop Boys, a British pop star, claim that AI technology can be used in a constructive way in the creative process. Neil Tennant (left), the group's drummer, said that AI could 'fill the gaps' if a song was unfinished, such as when the composer is suffering from writer's block. Tennant and his bandmate Chris Lowe also looked at new technologies as they plan their 'Dreamworld' best hits tour in Europe this summer. The pair discussed the possibility of following Abba's footsteps by doing an avatar tour (top right). The teenager daughter of their boss's eldest daughter's request that a bot perform a song in the style of Pet Shop Boys had enthralled Tennant. Despite the fact that the bot she used, OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has a range of Pet Shop Boys-style tunes on its online AI Jukebox, which is also shown below.
