New Bottlenose Dolphin Bulletin!
"Look, out in the water -- it's a shark!" someone cries.
"No, it's a dolphin," says another bystander.
Who is right? How can you tell the difference? A curved fin that moves
in a rolling motion is probably a bottlenose dolphin. If you want to be
sure, then order a copy of the new, full-color bulletin published by the
University of Delaware Sea Grant College Program.
The free, six-page bulletin titled "Bottlenose Dolphin: Our Ambassador
to the Sea" is packed with information on the evolution, behavior,
anatomy and physiology, and predators and concerns of this fascinating
marine mammal. Also included is information on how the bulletin can be
used in the classroom to meet National Science Education Standards.
For a free copy (multiple copies available for a nominal charge), please
send your request to:
