Bottlenose Dolphin : Assembly Instructions
Bottlenose dolphins are the most well-known type of dolphins. They
live in seas all over the world except those around the Arctic and
Antarctic Circles. They are 2-4 meters long and weigh between 150
and 650 kilograms.
Although they are rather small among marine mammals, they are
outstanding jumpers with great braking force. These master swimmers
can swim approximately 45 kilometers per hour in short bursts.
They are friendly and curious creatures who are thought to
communicate among themselves by letting out various sounds or
through body expressions.
