Dolphins
Dolphins sleep with one eye open.
Eat an average of 66 pounds of fish a day.
Dolphins are capable of diving as deep as 1,000 feet.
The life expectancy of a Dolphin differs from region to region. For instance, in Sarasota Bay, the life expectancy of a Dolphin has been measured to be nearly 25 years. In the Indian/Banana River region, the life expectancy of a Dolphin has been calculated to be between 10 and 14 years.
Dolphins have a relatively close relationship with their offspring with a long period of parental care through maturation. Dolphins are birthed like most mammals via the birth canal in the female abdomen. Generally there is only a single offspring.
Bottlenose dolphins identify themselves with a signature whistle. The sounds vary in volume, wavelength, frequency, and pattern. A mother dolphin may whistle to her calf almost continuously for several days after giving birth. This acoustic imprinting helps the calf learn to identify its mother
