Bottlenose Dolphins are not the cute, nice mammals we were led to believe...theay are actually quite nasty. Males hold females captive for days at a time to inhibit her from mating with other dolphins, leading her to finally relenting and mating with her captor. Males have also been known to kill young to induce more mating.

Yes, it is called a wolphin. Part common bottlenosed dolphin, part false killer whale. I believe. Here's a link to be sure.

How long do dolphins actually live? \n\nIt depends on which species you are talking about. Bottlenose dolphins may live for 50 years, but most only live for 25 years.

Can this realy be true that there is an antifreeeze chemical for animal drinking water ?\nI doubt it. I am not a farmer, but I know that they simply keep the animal drinking vessels protected from the weather.\n\nI admit to not being an expert.

Claim: Hymens are an aquatic trait. \n\nFact: Besides humans, hymens are found in lemurs (fellow primates, you'll note), guinea pigs, mole rats, hyenas, horses, llamas, and fin whales. Except for fin whales, none of these mammals are aquatic.  Also, AATers suggest that the reason for a hymen in humans was to seal off the female reproductive organs from waterborne parasites and such; but since the hymen is generally absent from the time of first intercourse (and very often before) this protection wouldn't be available for much of the female's lifespan.\n\nSo if by fihes you mean fin whales yes they do :D\n\nEDIT\nSo you know AAT stands for Aquatic Ape Theory

Okay, all very cute answers.  But here a more serious one.  Indeed, there have been reports of dolphins kept in captivity that got aroused by physical interactions with their trainers.  In one of these incidences, the trainer was in the water with the animal and touching its belly, upon which the male dolphin sported an erection and the penis popped out its pouch.  Now, was that true arousal?  Probably.  What does it mean?  Possibly a very close relationship (of course not sexual) of the trainer and the animal, possibly a sign of trust, maybe more, who knows.  Now, I can't recall ever having heard about anyone touching the dolphins genitals to go further.  \n\nCan I ask you something?  Why do you want to know????  I am not sure it's safe to say, dolphins are the better lovers...  (Swim carefully, young grashopper...)

I don't know what those sailors had smoked or drunk, but the story goes that the Manatee or Dugong were the real world phenomenon behind the mermaid legend.\n\nMaybe that's too late - Celtic myth has Selkies, shapechanging seals, and while they claim that St Brennan crossed the western sea long before Columbus did, I haven't heard about any mermaids in his travels.\n\nYou could study anthropologists' reports on merman myths, and treat them as sightings. Maybe there could be a useful map made of that...

The majority of small tooth whales are called dolphins.  They are mammals of the order Cetacea and the families Plantanistidae and Delphinidae and include about 50 species.  All have a beak like snout and sharp, conical teeth.  The term porpoise is sometimes applied to many of the same species, but porpoises, are members of the family Phocaenidae and have a blunt snout and spade or chisel shaped teeth.  The dolphin fish, is neither a dolphin nor a porpoise.  It is a sport fish related to the mackerels.

Yes, if you know how to speak in thier "language". Dolphins are alot smarter than we are. You can 'speak" to any animal if you know how to "listen" to them. You"listen" by watching thier actions, facial expressions, body language, and by listening to the different sounds they make.

Dolphins live in a tribe.There can be up to 150 dolphins in each tribe.The mother is the centre of the family.\n\nWhen hunting they use a method called "Kettle technique".\nThey manage to gather the fish together into a ball shape by letting out piercing cries and by surrounding them with bubbles. In this way it is very easy to catch them.\n\norcas work in co-operation with one another, swimming in unison to create a wave pattern in an attempt to knock the seals off of the ice. This clever hunting technique quickly and efficiently could provide dinner for a pod of orcas.\n\nI once read about a incident where the orcas followed a young blue whale and its mother for 4 days and when it got exhausted they had eaten it.The mother was too big for them and they could possibly not harm it.

There are pink dolphins in the Amazon region (boto cor de rosa, in Portuguese). They are rarer than the other kind of dolphins found there (Tucuxi).\nThe most famous and interesting story about these dolphins is that they are often blamed for making the young girls pregnant in the region. According to the legend, at night they turn into handsome young men, to which the ladies immediately fall in love.

The Dolphin as a spices is billions of years old. So to answer your question they evolved from sea dinosaurs.

ooohh you had to bring up those 70's sea monkey's! What do you think brought me to Florida? Those damn sea monkey's thats who...They grew into 420lb. creatures no very cute I might add. The rumors started by the town folk in Pennsylvania and they all showed up at the farm at night with torches and pitch forks with the sheriff and the mayor. I had to put them aboard my truck and transport them to the swamp here for their own safety. I didn't have the heart to leave em there..they look sorta like sea horses. They swim with the manatees now!
