Description

Baby (Donna) and adult (Pepina) femaleCommon Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus, delfin skakavy) from ZOO / dolphinarium Duisburg, Germany :D

Story of the photo: before the show started, the trainer came to the side of the pool to speak with *Lunchi. Dolphins immediately came as close as possible, desperately trying to gain trainer's attention :XD: when the trainer did not mind them, they started splashing the water on her! :D

Interesting facts: dolphin is a mammal, not a fish! Baby dolphins always drink mother milk | dolphins have bigger brains, than humans | dolphins usually live in groups | dolphin is one of few animals, who kill not only for food!

They have no problems to kill a shark and they sometime annoy swimmers in the sea | dolphins use echolocation to search for prey | dolphins are time to time found washed ashore, too often dying – nobody knows, why this happens.
Relationship with humans: people keep dolphins in aquariums and dolphinarius, where the animals perform special tricks – dolphins very easily learns those tricks | there are scientific researches about dolphins, which usually prove their high inteligence | dolphins appear in many human legends | some dolphins help people to hunt fish throught whole generations | US army use dolphins, teaching them to find mines and so on... | in some parts of the world, wild dolphins come from their own will to interact with people
