Common Bottlenose Dolphin

“Splish! Splash!” The sound of bottlenose dolphins jumping and swimming around their tank excites a family at SeaWorld as they wait to experience their first encounter with the dolphins. Every year, bottlenose dolphins bring joy to hundreds of people in both captivity and the wild, but what do people truly know about them? Bottlenose dolphins are actually unique and interesting creatures. Bottlenose dolphins are one of thirty-two species of marine dolphins (World Book 297). Their scientific

Bottlenose dolphins are among the most familiar cetaceans, just as whales. The Bottlenose dolphin is a primitive member of the subfamily Delphinine. Bottlenose dolphins are grey, varying from dark grey at the top near the dorsal fin to very light grey and almost white at the underside. There are two ecotypes of bottlenose dolphins the coastal and the offshore. The Coastal dolphin has a small body and large flippers to increase agility and heat dissipation. They have a limited movement into offshore

out there named that in English, and their numbers have been dropping treacherously low. Also known as the Gulf of California Harbor Porpoise, or by it’s Latin name, Phocoena sinus, as well as cochito or desert porpoise, this cetaceans resembles a dolphin, having the same sleek, grey dorsal surface, it’s only distinguishable feature being it’s flat or rounded face and dark areas around the eyes and mouth, making it look like it has a short beak. Newborn offspring have a much darker coloration. Vaquitas

The video of the animals that was the most like human language was the dolphin in the video ‘The Language of Dolphins’5. This video represents that language that is most like human language because although it may not be a verbal language between her and her trainer, humans can effectively communicate effectively through non-verbal language, i.e. sign language and written word. Each hand gesture that the trainers do is a separate word, Akeakamai can take the separate gestures and put them together

C-POD performance in detecting echolocation click trains of bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncates),” demonstrates the performance of bottlenose dolphin’s echolocation detectors in three different areas testing acoustic recording. The echolocation rates presented here were potentially influenced by variation in both the occurrence of dolphins and their echolocation activity among sites (Robert, Read 2015). Based on the results, dolphins use the same variation in all three sites used in the experiment

Introduction: In recent years, animals in captive environments such as zoos and theme parks have grown more controversial. The literature I have reviewed focuses on a particular group of animals in captivity, cetaceans. Cetaceans include whales, dolphins, and porpoises. The literature includes a range of themes, from their unique level of intelligence to why they may mentally and physically suffer in captive environments. However, it all connects to how and why these animals live and behave differently

A Bottlenose dolphin has very many actions, like cute, funny or even playful. Dolphins are so adorable they love to play. Dolphins are very playful and love to meet people. Sometimes they even will play jokes cause they’re so sweet. Dolphins have diets, like squid, fish, and crustaceans. Dolphins are commonly seen in aquariums, sea parks, TV shows, and movies, the bottlenose dolphin is a wildly recognizable cetacean (marine mammal). In the wild, bottlenose dolphins inhabit the temperate and tropical

of small whales, many dolphin species and some porpoises. They are killed in various manors, ranging from accidental ship strikes to the more morally controversial yearly drive hunts. As you may know nearly all cetaceans use some sort of sound production in order to navigate waters, communicate with other individuals and groups of their respective species as well as capture prey (Brownell et al., 2008). An example of this is the variety sounds produced by bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)

The Bottlenose Dolphin Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the bottlenose dolphin species. Central Idea: Dolphins are unique creatures that possess numerous abilities such as, their intelligence, communication skills, and behavioral patterns. Introduction I. Imagine yourself surrounded by a pool of water, but not just any pool of water, the biggest one of all: the ocean. You’re in the ocean attempting to swim, but only this time, instead of moving your arms over your head and your

Bottlenose Dolphins This essay is NOT formatted Bottlenose dolphins are among the most vocal of the nonhuman animals and exhibit remarkable development of the sound production and auditory mechanisms. This can be seen in audition, which is shown in the animal’s highly refined echolocation ability, and in tightly organized schools in which they live that are made up by sound communication. In testing the communication skills of dolphins, extensive studies have been done on vocal
