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.
