How is a Bottlenose Dolphin adapted to its habitat?

Answer 1

dolphins suit there habitat because they can swim fast and they have the blubber to help them live underwater
Bottlenose dolphins are the most well known because they are the ones most commonly used in films and marine life acts. Some of their adaptations include echolocation for finding food and navigating through their surroundings. Also, females help each other when it is time to give birth and other females watch over and protect the newborn and it's mother.

Answer 2

The species sometimes shows curiosity towards humans in or near water. Occasionally, they rescue injured divers by raising them to the surface. They also do this to help injured members of their own species.[84] In November 2004, a dramatic report of dolphin intervention came from New Zealand. Four lifeguards, swimming 100 meters (328 ft) off the coast near Whangarei, were approached by a shark (reportedly a Great White Shark). Bottlenose dolphins herded the swimmers together and surrounded them for forty minutes, preventing the shark from attacking, as they slowly swam to shore.[88]

In coastal regions, dolphins run the risk of colliding with boats. Researchers of the Bottlenose Dolphin Research Institute first quantified data about solitary bottlenose dolphin diving behavior in the presence and absence of boats.[89] Dolphins responded more to tourist than fishing vessels. Driving behavior, speed, engine type and separation distance all affect dolphin safety.

Bottlenose dolphins perform in many aquaria, generating much controversy. Some animal welfare activists claim that the dolphins do not have adequate space or receive adequate care or stimulation. However, others counter that the dolphins are properly cared for and enjoy interacting with humans.[84][90]

Eight bottlenose dolphins that lived at the Marine Life Aquarium in Gulfport, Mississippi were swept away from their aquarium pool during Hurricane Katrina. They were later rescued in the Gulf of Mexico.[91]

Therapies for handicapped children can include interactions with bottlenose dolphins.[84]

K-Dog, trained by the US Navy to find mines and boobytraps underwater, leaping out of the water

The military of the United States and Russia train bottlenose dolphins as military dolphins for wartime tasks such as locating sea mines and detecting enemy divers.[92][93] The USA's program is the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program, located in San Diego, California.[94]

Commercial 'dolphin encounter' enterprises and tours operate in many countries. In addition to such endeavors, the animals swim with and surface near surfers at the beach.[95]

In the town of Laguna in south Brazil, a pod of bottlenose dolphins drives fish towards fishermen who stand at the beach in shallow waters. One dolphin then rolls over, after which the fishermen throw out their nets. The dolphins feed on the escaping fish. The dolphins were not trained for this behavior; the collaboration began before 1847. Similar cooperative fisheries also exist in Mauritania, Africa.[96]

Answer 3

Usually they use echo sound to check it... No much else really? If there's fish, they eat. Predators, swim away. O.O

Answer 4

well... dolphins that live in warm water will get really freaked out if they felt a cold chunk of ice floating above them

Answer 5

Humans can affect bottle nose dolphins in a negative way. If trash or plastic is thrown into the ocean, a dolphin could eat it or the plastic could get stuck on the dolphin.

Answer 6

They eat various fish, controlling their populations.
