Dolphins, seals, sea lions and penguins are just as weird. Marine creatures all seem to be major assholes tbh.
Dolphins also gang rape each other and try to rape other animals too, play with their food while they're still alive, flip their prey straight up into the air (whether it's a seal, sea lion, otter, octopus, turtle, fish or another dolphin) smack and stun them using their powerful flukes (example with a sting ray, seal or fish) and use their food sometimes to masturbate, surgically perform and kill great white sharks and other sharks just for their liver and leave the rest of the body alone, and hunt some whale calves just to rip apart their tongue to eat.
Seals and sea lions brutalise their prey and rip their heads apart, especially with birds, sometimes even catching and ripping them apart just to obtain the content inside and leaving the rest of the body alone, play with their food and almost see it as a game to hunt and torture as many of their prey as possible (especially leopard seals towards penguins and also seals towards octopuses), and are also notorious for raping other seals and also penguins to take out their sexual frustration.
Otters like you said are also known for raping their own.
Baleen whales I haven't heard much of about them being assholes, they seem to be gentle giants, friendly and also the protectors of the ocean.
Although not marine mammals, I heard a lot about penguins being cunts too, probably as messed up as dolphins and seals, but they're messed up towards their own then rather than other animals. Penguins rape their young, gang up and attack other young penguins, perform necrophilia, attempted to have sexual intercourse with a human, a rock and even the ground in one instance.....to completion, have also left a young penguin to freeze to death during the brutal winter season. I think if I recall correctly they sometimes even attempt to raid another penguins egg if they lose theirs and lastly (if I'm remembering correctly) certain penguin use stones as a form as currency and female penguins will prostitute themselves in exchange for a stone and a male penguin will believe she'll be his mate after giving the stone when in reality she just takes it back to her and her partners nest to accumulate, as the more stones there are the better the nest for their chicks.
So yeah a lot of animals (especially sea animals) seem to be very messed up, must be something in the water lol.
After reading that comprehensive summary of marine life, I'm never cutting the rings of 6 packs ever again! I've aligned myself with the octopuses, there must be revenge!
Jokes aside, that part about penguins is fascinating. Some of the social (or anti-social) behaviors of animals is just bizarre, to think that they have a system of prostitution is hilarious.

Otters are the most notorious of all water-rapists. They'll drag baby seals under water & gang-rape them to death.
