Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dolphins are predators, as they hunt and feed on other animals (in this case, fish). Grazers typically eat plant material, decomposers break down dead organic matter, and parasites feed on a host organism without killing it. None of these descriptions fit with the behavior of dolphins observed in this scenario.
