Authorities are investigating a string of brutal attacks on dolphins in the northern Gulf of Mexico, where it meets the south coast of America.
Some of the friendly mammals were found with gunshot wounds, cuts and missing jaws.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued a 'heads up' directive, according to The Sun Herald.
It means they are on alert for an increase in human interaction with dolphins in the waters across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
There have been four dolphin strandings, which scientists from the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport have sent people to attend.
A team went to Deer Island, Mississippi, and found a dolphin dead with a portion of his jaw missing.
Another was found dead earlier near Gautier, with a 9mm bullet wound.
