The bottlenose dolphin is found all over the world, in all temperatures. It lives both inshore and offshore. The bottlenose dolphin is the dolphin that interacts with humans the most. They always approach boats and swimmers, more than any other dolphin.Bottlenose dolphins are mostly grey, with a lighter or white belly, a fairly short beak and a curved dorsal fin. Males can be any size from 2.4m - 3.8m, females 2.3m - 3.7m. At birth bottlenoses can be anything from 70 cm long. The size and features vary, depending on whether the dolphin lives inshore or offshore, and in what part of the world.
Bottlenoses eat a wide variety of foods, due to the local conditions. They eat fish, cephapods and invertebrates. Cooperative feeding occurs in South Carolina, and Baji California, where dolphins chase fish onto the shore, then roll up onto the beaches, completely out of the water, and then can grab the fish on the beach.
