Bottlenose Dolphins - Tursiops Truncatus Often called 'Flipper' by the kids, the Bottlenose Dolphin is probably the best-known among the 29 species of dolphins found throughout the world. Capable of cruising at 19 miles an hour and reaching short burst of speed of 25 mph, these mammals are found in many warm water regions of the planet. Their predators include sharks, orcas and mainly commercial fishermen. More info about Bottlenose Dolphins. |

Beluga Whales - Delphinapterus Leucas The Arctic White Whales are born slate grey and gradually turn white over time. These majestic, gentle animals have evolved to survive in the icy waters of the Arctic by developing very small flippers and tail flukes to conserve body heat. The pronounced hump on their noses (called a melon!) is used to produce sounds underwater. More information about Beluga. |
