Bottlenose dolphins live in Pacific Ocean,

Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean.  

Bottlenose dolphins breathe through its blowhole. Dolphins 

must come to the surface to breathe air.

A baby bottlenose dolphin is called a calf. They 

stay very close to its mother. 

The fin on the top of dolphin's back is   called dorsal fin. 

 Echolocation tells the dolphins the shape, size, speed, 

distance and location of the object or animal. 

Dolphins use tail to move forward through the water. It is 

called flukes.

These dolphins are social animals. They travel in groups 

called pods. 

At higher speeds, dolphins jump clear out of the water. 

This actually helps the Bottlenose dolphin save energy.

Dolphins are one of the intelligent animals. They have ability to 

recognize and understand many things.  

 Bottlenose dolphins have 18 to 26 small, sharp teeth on 

each side of their upper and lower jaws.

Since the Bottlenose dolphins are warm-blooded animals, they 

have a thick layer fat called blubber. It helps to keep these 

dolphins warm.  

These dolphins have their own language. They make 

different kinds of noises or sounds to communicate 

with other dolphins. 

Bottlenose dolphins can mimic other dolphins. If a dolphin is about 

to jump then other one can copy and jump at the same time. 

Bottlenose dolphins sleep with one eye open and other eye 

closed. They take short naps too. 

Dolphins do not chew their food, but swallow it whole. They 

get the water they need from the animals they eat, rather 

than drinking ocean water.

Dolphins use pectoral flippers to steer while they swim. 

These dolphins swim very fast. 

 Dolphins breathe by quickly inhaling and then relaxing their 

muscular flaps to close the blowhole.

Only half of the dolphin’s brain goes to sleep while the other 

half remains awake so they can continue to breathe and 

prevent from drowning.

Bottlenose dolphins do not use their teeth to chew their 

food. They eat fishes and sometimes squid.
