Alright, before you go ahead and say this is fake, it surprisingly isn't.
Some scientists in Shark Bay, WA found that male bottlenose dolphins actually form "boy groups" to attract female dolphins. They get together in groups and start doing their mating calls synchronously. These boy groups can actually last for decades. The report that claimed this said
"These strong alliance relationships can last for decades and are critical to each male's reproductive success. This is because males cannot monopolise and defend females on their own due to the intense competition for receptive females, minimal sexual size dimorphism, and because the three-dimensional habitat impedes coerced mating by single males."
The lead scientist also said "We have shown that allied male dolphins not only synchronise their movements, but also coordinate their vocal behaviour when cooperating together in alliances."

Conclusion: BTS dethroned.
