The Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is found in warm temperate and tropical oceans and seas worldwide. Bottlenose dolphins are the largest of the beaked dolphins. They can grow to be 12 feet (3.7 m) long, sometimes weighing more than 1400 pounds (635 kg).Tursiops truncatus has a larger brain than those of humans and show a high degree of intelligence. The dolphin is a distinctly social species, usually traveling in groups of as many as a dozen, but they have been seen in aggregations of several hundred. Most populations do not migrate, but travel widely to find food or locate waters of preferred temperature. They swim at speeds of approximately 12 miles per hour.
