WHAT ARE DOLPHINS? Unlike fish, Dolphins are mammals and use lungs to breath instead of gills. Like other mammals they give birth as opposed to laying eggs but unlike other mammels they do not have hair on their bodies. They don't have body hair because they need to swim as fast as they can to catch fish, their main source of food. They also need to be able to evade their predetors, like the evil sharks found in the ocean. Dolphins also eat squid. The name Dolphin refers to the species that have a beaklike snout an Read More Go to Site AllSands.com - Grains of Knowledge Votes:0 Contact About Home You Are At: AllSands Home Art College Computers Entertainment , People Fashion Food , Howto , Recipes Gardening Health , Advice , Alternative , Diseases History , Events , Objects , People , Places Hobbies Potluck1 Potluck2 Potluck3 Potluck4 Religious , Christian , Jewish , Newage Science , Animals Sports , Fishing , History , Howto Travel , Howto , Kids , Places Writing Home , Crafts , Decorating Howto Kids , Education , Health , Teenagers , Travel Lifestyles , Men , Pregnancy , Seniors , Weddings , Women Literature Luxury Money , Career Music , Bio , Instruments , Reviews Pets , Cats , Dogs , Fish , Smallanimals Read More Go to Site Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin Votes:0 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. Bottlenose dolphins are usually eight to nine feet long; (the males are bigger than the females). Their skin is a grayish color, with a lighter belly. When the air and water are very warm, their bellies may turn light pink. A dolphin’s skin feels rubbery, and they have a thick layer of blubber underneath to k Read More Go to Site Atlantic Dolphin Research Cooperative (A.D.R.C.)

The idea for the Foundation came on the heels of several exciting scientific discoveries made and documented by Shawn Larkin, Vanessa Schot, Willie Burton, Ann DiBerardinis and Mary Ahlers in April, 1997. The first was the identification, near Manzanillo, of tucuxi dolphins ( Sotalia fluviatilis ), a little-known species never before known to exist in Costa Rica. The second exciting discovery was the unusual social interaction between the tucuxi and bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ) there.

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 the family Phocoenidae . They are generally smaller and more robust species. Most attain about 5-7 feet in length. Porpoises have no distinct beak, or rostrum . Their foreheads slope almost uniformly to the tip of their snout, and their teeth are spade-like in shape. The family Phocoenidae is rath Read More Go to Site Dolphins - The Oracles of the Sea Votes:0 God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky."

I've always been fascinated with dolphins, and have yearned to make a connection with them. So I was very excited about heading out to the coast and seeing something I've always wanted to see. After doing the Disney thing, and getting royally sunburned out on Lake Dora, Karen & I drove down through the Florida Keys and set up camp in Key West. This place is Heaven on Earth.

When the last "Flipper"(who was a lady) died in the arms of her trainer Ric O´Barry , Ric changed his mind and decided to go for the release of captive dolphins who live like prisoners in the dolphinaria or in military institutes, where they have been trained also for offense activities. The release program is not easy to do. First one needs and good place with contact to the open sea, then the money to transport, feed and "train back" the dolphins. They really have to learn again how to use their SONAR system to echolocate living and moving fish. Their skin has to get use Read More Go to Site tursiops t.

Want to see a map of this site? This page contains information about behavioral observations of wild dolphins being conducted through the University of Houston - Clear Lake. The team (headed by Michael Hunt, professor of psychology at UHCL) conducts boat surveys around Galveston Island, Texas to observe the behavior of free-ranging bottlenose dolphins. Its research concentrates on the following areas: Photo-identification - identification of individual dolphins based on the analysis of photographs. Identification is based on the natural occurrence of marks, such as nicks or cuts, on the dorsal fin Population surveys - numbers of sightings, sizes of groups, and distribution of animals around Galves Read More Go to Site Web search Votes:0 Click here to proceed.

Join us in the Selkirk Mountains as we work with researchers and the residents of Boundary County, Idaho to manage grizzly bears living in their midst. The small population of grizzly bears is one of the last remnant populations living in the lower 48. The Department of Idaho Fish and Game has a mandate to protect and preserve them. Yet, this mandate impacts not only the bears but also the people of Boundary County. Wildlife conservation is complicated and there are no simple answers. Can people and grizzly bears share the same habitat? How dangerious are they? Are they a threat to livestock? How should the bears be managed? Is there a middle ground that protects the grizzlies and allows the people of Boundary County to continue their way of life?

EXTERNAL ANATOMY : Size: Adults from 1.9 to 3.8m, weighing up to 650kg. There is tremendous variation between populations, as different groups, known as ecotypes, are adapted to the different conditions in which they live. NATURAL HISTORY : HABITAT: Coastal and Oceanic species Populations generally occur in water in less than 30 miles from shore Found in open coasts with strong surf to sheltered bays and waterways, lagoons, large estuaries and the lower reaches of rivers FOOD & FEEDING: Their feeding behaviour is extremely varied, depending on what is available. They may co-operate to forage on large sch Read More Go to Site WhaleTimes Fishin' for Facts - Hourglass Dolphins Votes:0 ™ Fishin' for Facts: Hourglass Dolphins Common name: Hourglass Dolphin Scientific name: Family Delphinidae: Genus species : Lagenorhynchus cruciger Size According to the "Handbook of Marine Mammal," only 5 hourglass dolphins have been measured. Not enough have been weighed or measured to know maximum or average sizes or weights. They measured from 163 to 187 cm (64 to 74 inches) long. Those measured weighed between 82 to 94 kg (180 to 207 pounds). What do they eat? They probably eat small fish and squid. Scientists don't know about any predators they might have, but because of size and where they live, it is very possible killer whales prey on them.

They are found in antarctic and suban Read More Go to Site WhaleTimes Fishin' for Facts~Echolocation Votes:0 Fishin' for Facts: Echolocation 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. How does echolocation work? 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. What happens when the sounds echo back? Simply described....The sounds are picked up by the lower jaw. The lower jawbones are hollow and filled with fat. This helps the sound travel through the jawbone up to the middle ear, inner ear, and auditory nerve. These echoes are interpreted by the brain.
