How do bottlenose dolphins live?

Bottlenose dolphins are one of the most well-known species of dolphin, found in both warm and temperate seas worldwide. They live in social groups called pods, which can range from a few individuals to several hundred. Dolphins are carnivorous and feed primarily on fish and squid, using sophisticated hunting techniques, including cooperation within their pods. They are highly intelligent and are known to communicate using a complex system of clicks, whistles, and body movements. Bottlenose dolphins often engage in play, which is an important part of their social lives. Dolphins give birth to a single calf after a gestation period of about 12 months. The calves are cared for by the mother and learn to hunt and socialize within the pod.
