04.01.2018 – Let´s check what it is

Published by Marlene Cabral on January 18, 2018

During our morning trip today we were able to observe a group of Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) having a snack. It wasn’t an extensive feeding situation but here and there some fishes. The dolphins jumped as well and we could identify one dolphin as male. Besides the anus and genital slit females have one little teat slit on each side of the genital slit. If you check out our photo you will see there are no teat slits.

After a long search we met the beautiful Common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in the afternoon.
