🐟Did you see it? ...flying fish!

🦷Unlike humans, dolphins use their cone-shaped teeth to grab prey rather than chew it. They swallow fish whole, using their tongues and mouth movements to position the fish while expelling much of the surrounding salt water.

🐬Their teeth aren't designed for grinding food into smaller pieces. Instead, their streamlined bodies, quick reflexes, and specialized feeding behaviors help them catch fish and get them down efficiently.

Take a look at how Chabelita and Nubia are swimming! Their position in the water is a great way to practice anatomical directions:

Dorsal = toward the back/top
Ventral = toward the belly/underside
Anterior (cranial) = toward the head
Posterior (caudal) = toward the tail

💡 Can you identify each direction in the photo?

🌬Breathe in... breathe out...

🐬Bottlenose dolphins are intermittent breathers, surfacing for quick breaths before spending time underwater. But not every breath is the same! A gentle resting breath looks very different from a powerful “chuff,” and after exercise, their breathing changes as they recover and replenish oxygen.

💙By studying breath rate, airflow, and how much air is moved with each breath, researchers can learn more about how dolphins respond to rest, activity, and life as diving mammals.

🌊Every breath gives us a glimpse beneath the surface!
