Dear MARMAM colleagues, On behalf of my co-authors, I am pleased to share our new publication: Erdem Danyer, Uğur Özsandıkçı, Anil Soyumert, Scavenging of a brown bear (Ursus arctos) on a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus),Food Webs,Volume 44, 2025,e00408. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fooweb.2025.e00408. Abstract: Cetacean carcasses stranded on coastlines can provide food resources for terrestrial predators. On 05 July 2024, a video shared on the media showed a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) carcass being carried by a brown bear (Ursus arctos) over the coastal rocks towards to the forest in Sinop, in the Black Sea region of Türkiye. This study is the first report of scavenging of a brown bear on a bottlenose dolphin with notes on its implications from a one health perspective. Our report suggests that the bottlenose dolphin carcass may provide an uncommon but potential food resource for brown bears along the Black Sea coastline.
