Bottlenose dolphins in Mozambique
I took this photo on a snorkeling trip in Mozambique several years ago... Wow, what an experience!!!
Bottle-nosed dolphins live in groups. They live in warm oceans and tropical seas. Bottlenose Dolphins gained popularity from aquarium shows and television programs such as Flipper. They have also been trained by militaries to locate sea mines or detect and mark enemy divers. In some areas, they cooperate with local fishermen by driving fish into their nets and eating the fish that escape. Some encounters with humans are harmful to the dolphins: people hunt them for food, and dolphins are killed inadvertently as a bycatch of tuna fishing and by getting caught in crab traps.
The deepest dive ever recorded for a bottlenose dolphin was 300 meters (990 feet). This was accomplished by Tuffy, a dolphin trained by the US Navy.
Enjoy!
Great Photograph. It must have been an amazing experience!
Thanx... I totally cried when I got back on the boat!! It was such an emotional experience...
