About the Bottlenose Dolphin

Bottlenose dolphins are among the most well-known and loved marine mammals. These intelligent creatures are known for their playful behavior and their distinctive 'bottlenose' shaped snout. Dolphins are highly social, living in groups called pods, and communicate using a complex system of whistles and clicks. They are also known for their echolocation abilities, which they use to navigate and hunt in murky waters. Bottlenose dolphins have been observed using tools, such as sponges to protect their snouts while foraging on the sea floor.
