The life of the bottlenose dolphin is about 30 years.
He has a sonar which enables him, by echolocation, to locate animals located in a certain perimeter around waters.
Oral communication is also present in this species. Although we have not yet managed to find the meaning, it seems to evolve enough.
The bottlenose dolphin has to go to the surface every 15 minutes and can go down to almost 650 feet to hunt.
The bottlenose dolphin is also on the red list of endangered species.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
