樽鼻海豚 (Bottlenose dolphin)Tursiops truncatus

樽鼻海豚係海豚之中最出名嘅一種。台灣就叫佢做寬吻海豚。

生活習性
佢哋游水速度大概係時速 5-11 公里，5-8 分鐘唞一次氣。

佢地係群居動物，而且群組固定，唔似中華白海豚群嘅成員咁成日換來換去。

嘢食同其他海豚差唔多，都係魚、蝦、蟹、頭足綱動物。

The Bottlenose Dolphin is the most common and well-known dolphin, recent molecular studies showing it is in fact two species, Common Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), and Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin (T. aduncus).

It inhabits warm and temperate seas worldwide and may be found in all but the Arctic and the Antarctic Oceans.

Adults range in length from 2 to 4 metres (6 to 13 ft) and in weight from 150 to 650 kilograms (330 to 1430 lb)[2]; however, in most parts of the world, the adult's length is about 2.5 m (8 ft) and adult weight ranges from 200 to 300 kg (440 to 660 lb), with males being slightly longer and considerably heavier than females, on average. The size of the dolphin appears to vary considerably with habitat.

Their diet consists mainly of small fish, occasionally also squid, crabs, shrimp, and other smaller animals. Their cone-like teeth serve to grasp but not to chew food. When a shoal of fish has been found, the animals work as a team to keep the fish close together and maximize the harvest. They also search for fish alone, often bottom dwelling species. Sometimes they will employ "fish whacking" whereby a fish is stunned (and sometimes thrown out of the water) with the fluke to make catching and eating the fish easier.
