Bottlenose Dolphins

The Latin name for a bottlenose dolphin is Tursiops truncates. This animal lives in the mammal and fish family.
Description

This dolphin’s short beak creases where it meets the forehead making a shape like the neck of a bottle. That’s part of how they got their name.

Habitat

Bottlenose dolphins live in the ocean but can be seen jump out of the water. Some dolphins live in dark murky places. 
Diet

Bottlenose dolphins eat small fish, eels, catfish, mullet, squid and shrimp.

Dynamics

These cool creatures are awesome acrobats too and can be seen flipping out of the water. They can launch themselves five metres out of the water before crashing back with a splash.

Sadly there are many fishing boats around putting out large fishing net for dolphins to get caught in them.
