Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)
Click the speaker
to hear the Dolphin!
WHAT DOES A DOLPHIN LOOK LIKE? The dolphin is a marine mammal. This means that it is warm-blooded, has some fur (whiskers really), gives live birth, makes milk for its babies, breathes air, and lives in salt water. (Some other kinds of dolphins live in fresh water.) A dolphin is definitely not a fish. It is actually a small whale, and is in the same family as killer whales and pilot whales. Bott ...

What is the dolphin life span?
Bottlenose dolphin survival rates for the Sarasota population (the only one studied in enough detail) is 0.961. This means that at least in the Sarasota Bay (and also in captivity) the life expectancy (the average age they can be expected to reach) is about 25 years. The maximum age (which only a few will reach) is more than 40 years. Survival rates in other populations may be different (the Indian River population in Eastern Florida has an estimated survival r ...

DOLPHINS
I. BIOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY
All dolphins are toothed whales belonging to the sub-order, odontocetes, of the order cetacea (see section on humpback whales for more information). As a group, dolphins are often referred to as "small" cetaceans, even though some of them are quite large, attaining lengths of over 20 feet. In addition, although the terms dolphins and porpoises are often used interchangeably, they really refer to two different types of animals.
Porpoises belong to ...

Images on the dolphin/porpoise pages are copyrighted.
* Cool Dolphin Trivia: Dolphins can move their eyes independently from each other, similar to a gecko lizard, this allows a dolphin to be able to see from different angles at the same time which helps them when looking out for predators. Dolphins also sleep with one eye open... so half their brain is resting while the other half stays on alert for predators.

The body of the dolphin is sleek, smooth, and streamlined. The skin is rubbery and hairless. They have a bulging forehead, formed by a mass of tissue above the upper jaw. Dolphins are predators, living on fish, squid, or sometimes shrimp and mollusks.

Toothed whales produce sounds to communicate and echolocate.
What is echolocation?
Echolocation is the ability to see through sound.
Scientists believe that most or all toothed whales have echolocation abilities.

The whale sends out a beam of sound from the melon (the forehead). The melon acts an an "acoustical lens" to direct the sound. When the sound hits something it bounces or echoes back to the whale.
