All About Dolphins:

These incredible tender mammals are considered to be one of the most intelligent species on the planet.

The Dolphins (Delphinidae), regularly called ocean Dolphins, are a family of cetacean odontocetis (that have teeth), that embrace almost 34 species.

Like other cetaceans, they utilize echolocation, the dance and the jump to communicate and orientate themselves.

At Dolphin Discovery, the Dolphins are the bottled nose (Tursiops truncatus). They live in groups of 12 animals called pods; these are long lasting social units.

Typically, a group of females and its offspring live together in a pod for many years.

The males can reach reproductive maturity at the age of 11, and females at the age of 12. The hit time is generally on Springtime. During the mating period, the male Dolphins compete vigorously in between them to show their strength and size.

Our main labor as Marine Mammals specialists is to be aware of Dolphins -day and night- and to give them the best possible care. Come and share with us the huge love we feel for Dolphins!.
