Dolphin
In
the wild, these sleek swimmers can reach speeds of over 18 miles (30
kilometers) an hour. They surface often to breathe, doing so two or
three times a minute. Bottle nose dolphins travel in social groups and
communicate with each other by a complex system of squeaks and whistles.
Schools have been known to come to the aid of an injured dolphin and
help it to the surface.
Bottlenose
dolphins track their prey through the expert use of echolocation. They
can make up to 1,000 clicking noises per second. These sounds travel
underwater until they encounter objects, then bounce back to their
dolphin senders, revealing the location, sare feeding, that target is often a bottom-dwelling fish,
though they also eat shrimp and squid.
