The Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin is a common marine mammal found in warm coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas. Recognizable by its curved dorsal fin and playful behavior, it typically grows between 8 to 12 feet long. Known for their intelligence, these dolphins communicate using clicks and whistles, and often hunt in groups. They primarily feed on fish and squid. Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins are popular attractions in marine parks and are also studied for their complex social structures and ability to learn, showcasing their advanced cognitive skills. Conservation efforts are ongoing due to habitat loss and pollution.
