The research documenting Bubbles's novel kleptoparasitic feeding strategy is published in the journal Ecology and Evolution. Haines explains that the behavior represents a learned strategy requiring less energy-intensive effort than chasing fast-swimming prey. She also notes that Bubbles prefers to forage alone, unlike dolphins that typically forage in groups.

“This perception of dolphins as the 'good guys of the sea' has more to do with anthropomorphism—our tendency to assign human characteristics to them—and perhaps that's because dolphins appear to be smiling. Dolphins are predators and actively hunt their prey, whether it has been stolen from another species or not.”
