Communication and Social Behavior in the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolph Essa

IntroductionSocial behavior in mammals early(a) than creation has always been something that has fascinated not only scientists, but the cosmopolitan population as well. Large mammals known to exhibit similar behaviors to humans have always been popular front-runners at zoos and aquariums. One particular favorite is an animal known for its social behavior and intelligence Tursiops truncates, the bottle-nosed whale dolphin (Prevost, 1995). This cetacean has global distribution that spans all tropical and equable marine waters with bays, sounds, estuaries, and open shorelines being the habitats near frequently inhabited, and ocean grass beds being the preferred nursery locations (Prevost, 1995). These mammals are some of the most admired sea creatures and have shown great capacity for intelligence. They are often trained and used in shows at aquariums. Most frequently study are their communication types and their complex social behavior, with things like verbal and communica tive communication, communities and social hierarchies, and common social behaviors receiving a particular emphasis. Physical Attributes and relevant Zoological InformationTursiops truncates, with its Atlantic sub-species named T .t. truncates, has some genuinely distinct physical features. The size is a range of six to thirteen feet or two to four meters (Prevost, 1995) (Reynolds & Wells, 2003). The average dolphin is about 9 feet long and usually weighs about 600 pounds, although males are typically 25% large than females (CITATION). The rostrum extends for several inches, but is relatively short compared to the rest of the wedge shaped body. (Felhammer, et al. 2003). The rostrum is also the basic for the T. t. truncates common name of bottlenose dolphin (Felhammer, et al. 2003). ... ...d Social Organization of the Bottlenose Dolphin A Review.
