Tursiops truncatus
Bottlenose Dolphins are fantastic creatures and their jumps are spectacular !
This species visits us all year round!
Their skin colour can vary from light grey to dark grey all over their body and they can be up to 3 meters long!
Their head is rounded with a bottle-shaped nozzle and this is what it’s been named after, in the English language.
Bottlenose dolphins travel in groups, separated by age and gender. However, they are a very sociable species and like to join pilot whales.
Can be up to 3 meters long !
