A christmas swim with the bottlenose dolphins of Bimini, particularly "Big Bone" (named for his deformed right pec fin). I was filming my friend Atmo who was filming the dolphins crater feeding on the bottom, when I heard them sonaring me! Big Bone is a freind of mine, we've swum together a lot over the years. See www.PlanetaryPartners.com for more dolphin stories & photos. |

Male Bottlenose Dolphins often form lifelong pair-bonds with each other. Adolescent and younger males typically live in all-male groups in which homosexual activity is common; within these groups, a male begins to develop a strong bond with a particular partner (usually of the same age) with whom he will spend the rest of his life. The two Dolphins become constant companions, often traveling widely; although sexual activity probably declines as they get older, it may continue to be a regular feature of such partnerships. Paired males sometimes take turns guarding or remaining vigilant while their partner rests. They also defend their mates against predators such as sharks and protect them while they are healing from wounds inflicted during preclators' attacks. Sometimes three males form a tightly bonded trio. On the death of his partner, a male may spend a long time searching for a new male companion—usually unsuccessfully, since most other males in the community are already paired and will not break their bonds. If, however, he can find another "widower" whose male partner has died, the two may become a couple...
The lives of male Bottlenose Dolphins are characterized by extensive bisexuality, combined with periods of exclusive homosexuality. As adolescents and young males, they have regular homosexual interactions in all-male groups, sometimes alternating with heterosexual activity. From age 10 onward, most male Dolphins form pair-bonds with another male, and because they do not usually father calves until they are 20-25 years old, this can be an extended period—10-15 years—of principally same-sex interaction. Later, when they begin mating heterosexually, they still retain their primary male pair-bonds, and in some populations male pairs and trios cooperate in herding females or in interacting homosexually with Spotted Dolphins.

In collaboration with colleagues Arthur Schiefler and Prof. Dr. Geraldo Milioli, I have studied what Karen Pryor refers to as "a dolphin-human fishing cooperative in Brazil (Marine Mammal Science 6:77--82). We were especially interested in this question: "Do the dolphins understand that they are giving a signal to the fishermen to cast the net, or have they acquired this unique signal through blind, mindless, years-long, trial and error learning?" We paid therefore particular attention to the fairly standardized and stereotypic signal given by these bottlenose dolphins. We do not know yet whether the dolphins understand their signaling action, but we plan to publish a detailed description and analysis of the signal itself. Until we get around to this laborious job, we decided to place some of our best signaling clips, of different dolphins, on the web. We would welcome any comments and interpretations of what is seen here (aa1674@wayne.edu). Here, anyway, is one sequence of dolphins Arreia Braço first, and then Ligerinho, taking place on November 2, 2006.
We may also note in passing that this natural wonder is under severe threat, leading to at least two applications 1. If you find yourself in the Laguna area, it's well worth a visit. It's one of the most beautiful towns in Brazil, with great surfing and wonderful people--all these besides the signaling dolphins. 2. Maybe, if just enough people realize the grave threat (from pollution, overfishing, overpopulation, motor boats . . . ) to the remnants of this natural wonder, the dolphins, and the way of life of the traditional fishermen and hobbyists, can still be saved. It's almost Earth Day, 2008, when we're posting this, so maybe humanity, Brazil, the state of Santa Catarina, the cities of Tubarão and Laguna, will still come to their senses and save this fabulous, incredibly beautiful and touching, dolphins and their odd way of sustaining themselves in a hostile world.

A group of Bottlenose Dolphin feed on schools of mullet in a tidal creek near Cedar Key, Florida. The dolphins employ a unique strategy in capturing their prey. Each dolphin in the group has a specialized role that remains the same during each feeding bout. One dolphin acts as a 'driver' while the rest act as a 'barrier'. The 'driver' swims aggressively around the school of fish with strong tail slaps that drive the mullet towards the waiting 'barrier' dolphins. The mullet panic and leap out of the water in an attempt to escape only to be captured in mid-air by the dolphins.
Individual role specialization during group hunting is extremely rare in mammals. This may be the first documented case of a marine mammal that employs role specialization in their group hunting. Other marine mammals like humpback whales feed cooperatively on schools of fish but are not known to employ role specialization in their group hunts. This foraging behavior was well documented by Stefanie K. Gazda, marine biologist, in a paper published by the Royal Society of London entitled "A division of labor with role specialization in group-hunting bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops Truncatus) off Cedar Key, Florida", Stefanie K. Gazda, Richard C. Connor, Robert K. Edgar and Frank Cox |

Coral are part of the jellyfish and anemone family and have the unique feature of secreting a skeleton of calcium carbonate. They predominantly live in colonies and these form the gigantic constructions of which the best known are the coral reefs and atolls. It is estimated that there are one million animal and vegetable species that live in and around these coral reefs. This ecosystem is very rich in biodiversity and is threatened by overfishing, a deterioration in the quality of the water and -- most recently -- climate change. Climate change endangers coral through an increase in the water temperature and a significant acidification of the surface waters. A large amount of the carbon dioxide present in the earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans and forms a diluted acid. This acid combines with carbonate, which is indispensable to the construction of the coral skeletons. As a consequence of the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, the coral's capacity to form a skeleton is reduced. The coral organisms cannot naturally adapt themselves to the increase of atmospheric CO2 concentrations and the increase of the current temperatures. This is because these changes are occurring 1,000 times as quickly as during the last 420,000 years.

The Bottlenose Dolphin is the most common and well-known dolphin. Recent molecular studies show it is in fact two species, the Common Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the 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 |

I was hanging out in my living room this morning, and a saw a dolphin right next to the bulkhead in our backyard...
My wife and I went down to see what was going on, and saw a couple dolphins chasing some bait fish.
Here is the video of what we saw.
Enjoy!
Ryan
p.s. Watch the video closely at 1:33... one of the dolphins starts throwing the fish around that he/she caught.

"Shocking film of dolphins repeatedly tossing porpoises in the air and pursuing them to the death has left animal experts baffled as to the motive."
...Conclusion: Dolphins will fuck you up.
Bottlenose dolphins have also been found to have attacked their own young in the same way (basically batting them around until they are tenderized and dead). Still a mystery why. Some theories suggest it's like male lions killing cubs sired by another male, i.e. taking out competition, and the attack on porpoises was target practice.
Still, infanticide is widespread in the animal kingdom, and there's no reason why this should be especially shocking.
