Bottlenose Dolphins

The Reason I chose them

> The reason I chose bottlenose dolphins is because dolphins are my favorite animal and I want to learn more about a specific kind of dolphin so I chose the bottlenose dolphin.

Facts

>Their moans, groans, squeaks, whistles, and grunts can sound as if they’re a heavy metal band.

> Bottlenose dolphins make their own kind of music. Many of the sounds they make could be imitated by holding a balloon tightly by the neck, then letting the air out faster and slower.

>Bottlenose Dolphins can swim up to 260 miles below the surface of the ocean.

More Facts…

> The name “bottlenose” comes from this dolphin’s elongated upper and lower jaws that form what is called the “rostrum.”

> Class: Mammalia> Order: Cetacea> Family: Delphinidae> Genus and Species: Tursiops truncates> Size: 6–13 ft> Weight: 330–650 lbs> Diet: Fish, squid, and crustaceans
