Q

5 characteristics of mammals

A

1) breath air
2) warm blooded
3) live birth
4) nurse young
5) have hair

20
Q

dolphin teeth

A
  • one set for their whole life
  • 80-100 cone shaped teeth
  • can tell age using teeth rings (like a tree)
  • dont use teeth to chew, simply to grab prey then swallow it whole
21
Q

dolphin tongue

A
  • Have fringes on the sides when they are calves to create a watertight funnel when nursing
  • No taste buds, no taste
22
Q

sleep

A
  • rest one hemisphere at a time (can know which half because the opposite eye will be closed)
  • require less sleep than terrestrial mammals (low metabolic rate)
  • log to sleep
23
Q

melon

A
  • Fatty tissues and fluid in the forehead
  • used to help direct sound during echolocation
24
Q

echolocation

A
  • Emit a series of fast paced clicks that bounce off the object
  • returns back as an echo that travels through their lower jaw bone, inner ear, and into their brain to create a picture
  • produces an image in their brain that tells them the shape and density of the object (ex. They can distinguish between a golf ball and a ping pong ball a football field length away)
25
Q

eyes

A
  • on either side of their head
  • 20/20 vision above and below water
  • have only one type of cone = suggests ability to filter out blue
  • 173 degree vision (3 blind spots directly above, below and behind)
  • monoscopic = independently process 2 images at a time
  • stereoscopic = process one image using both eyes
26
Q

blowhole

A
  • all vocals produced through blowhole
  • muscles around it manipulate noise
  • voluntary breathers (up to 10 min breath hold)
27
Q

ears/hearing

A
  • pinhole
  • directional hearing like humans
  • 7.5x greater hearing range than us
28
Q

pectoral flippers

A
  • stop/steer
  • bone (similar bone structure to human hand)
29
Q

dorsal fin

A
  • made of cartilage
  • used for stability like keel of sailboat
  • allows for thermoregulation
  • used for ID (like a finger print) = vary in shape, size, thickness, and notches
  • over 300 animals ID in our current ID project here in the keys
30
Q

belly button

A

have one; mammalian birth characteristic

31
Q

male ID

A

! (genital slit and anus)

32
Q

Female ID

A

division sign (genitals and anus with mammary glands on each side)

33
Q

Sexual Maturity

A

males: 8-13 years
females: 5-10 years

34
Q

mating

A

dont mate for life (fission-fusion society)

35
Q

peduncle

A
  • very strong muscle that powers movement
  • moves dorsoventrally (up and down) with no recovery phase
  • swim up to 20 MPH (Michael phelps only 3 MPH)
36
Q

flukes

A

left and right together make the flukes; made of cartilage

37
Q

Rule 1: have fun

A
  • unique experience to interact with these animals so enjoy it
  • please let us know if there’s annoy accommodations you need
38
Q

Rule 2: listen to your trainer

A
  • they will talk to you the entire time your in the water
  • please do not reach out to or touch the animals unless explicitly told to do so by a trainer
  • Everything we ask the animals is voluntary
  • therefore, we ask animals if they are okay with be touched = respect animal choice by not touching them until they make the decision to be touched
  • Animals allowed to make their own choices = may approach or even touch you on their own BUT please don’t reciprocate if they do
39
Q

Rule 3: water entry

A

enter water carefully and calmly (this is their home and we want to respect that)

40
Q

Session info 1: based on number of behaviors not time

A
  • All guests regardless of party size will do the same number of behaviors and same types
  • Smaller groups may not be in the water as long as larger ones BUT all groups will have the same overall experience
  • Because the dolphins have no set time schedule, they can do whatever they want and it will not hinder your program -> We simply pause the program and resume when the animal decides to return
  • Please let us know if you need us to speak slower for translating as we can accommodate that request
41
Q

session info 2: choice and variability

A
  • Programs may appear different between groups or even within your own group
  • Ask dolphins to participate voluntarily → if there behaviors they don’t want to do, we will substitute it for a similar one
  • May also ask different behaviors to give the animals variability
  • Ultimately all guests will do the same amount of behaviors and similar kinds
42
Q

session info 3: some behaviors you MAY get to do

A

Rubs
- Only use a flat hand, no scratching, slow and gentle

Superhero
- Dolphin pushes your feet and propels you forward
- To do so: keep feet at the surface of the water, lock knees, no kicking!

Dorsal tow
- To do so: stand in water with feet straight down, arm straight out like a T, thumbs facing down, hold onto the fin at the base

Belly ride
- To do so: stand up in the water with hands flat on surface of the water in front of you → dolphin will pop up with their belly facing you → hold onto pectoral flippers and lean forward

Pole jump
- To do so: people stand on opposite ends of the pole, hold onto the taped ends, stay parallel to the docks, keep the pole on the surface of the water

43
Q

Photographer/photos

A

we will have a photographer taking pictures of you during the session for you to purchase after
