Description Dolphins are mammals found all over the world. Most of them live in shallow areas in warm and tropical oceans, but 5 species of dolphins actually live in rivers. The most common dolphin, the bottlenose, is usually what people think of when they think of dolphins. If youve seen Flipper or a Dolphin Tale, youre familiar with the bottlenose. You can even take dolphin tours in areas where they congregate. They are often found in areas with beautiful clear water and shells. To capture their food, dolphins often work together to surround and circle their prey in order to keep it from escaping. They keep circling until they have the prey forced into a small and dense ball. Once its trapped, the dolphins take turns swimming through the circle to pick off the fish who cant escape. The life expectancy of dolphins vary, but the common bottlenose dolphin can live a whopping 20 to 50 years! To determine a dolphins age, veterinarians can count the rings inside each tooth. Each growth ring indicates one year of life. Needlepoint by Pepita Pepita Needlepoint printed needlepoint canvas is fun for every level of stitcher, from beginner through advanced.
