Information
Staying
Adult males are up to 2 meters long and weigh up to 100 kilograms. It prefers coastal waters, which, unfortunately, can be very fatal for it as it often gets lost amidst spread fishing nets.
Course of pregnancy
The duration of pregnancy varies depending on where the mother lives. It usually lasts from 10 to 12 months. The young at birth are about 80 to 90 centimeters long. It is interesting to note, however, that in colder waters reproduction and all that goes with it is more regular than in warmer waters, and there they reproduce as it suits them.
Body
Dolphins have a slender body shape with a long rather sharply pointed beak. Their backs are dark gray, but from the eye area toward the belly they have a distinct light spot that ends in the genital area.
Lifetime
The maximum age that dolphins have is about 30 years. These animals are true predators, which is why they often come into conflict with people who are involved in fishing. The main food that dolphins hunt for in the water is tuna.
Trivia
- Intelligence: Dolphins are considered one of the world's most intelligent animals. They can learn new skills, recognize themselves in the mirror and cooperate in a group.
- Communications: Dolphins communicate through sounds, body movements and touch. They use a variety of sounds such as clicks, squeaks and bubbles.
- Echolocation: Dolphins use echolocation to navigate and search for food. They send out a series of clicks that bounce off objects and return to them, allowing them to understand the distance, shape and size of objects.
- Flock: Dolphins live in social groups called herds. These herds can consist of a few to several hundred dolphins.
- Breathing: Dolphins breathe through nostrils located on top of the head, called the blowhole.
- Speed: Dolphins can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h while swimming.
- Jumps: Dolphins often jump out of the water, which helps them conserve energy when swimming long distances.
- Diet: Dolphins are predators that feed mainly on fish and squid.
- Behavior: Dolphins are known for their altruistic behavior, helping injured or sick herd members and even other animal species.
- Senses: Dolphins have well-developed senses - they can see both in the water and on the surface, and their hearing is also very sensitive.
