What about them dolphins?

When do you see them the most? Is there a specific time of day more than another that you see dolphins?

In answer to one of the questions I hear most often, no. I see plenty of dolphins in the morning, afternoon, and in the evening! :)

Fun Fact: The dolphins seen on our excursions are called Bottlenose Dolphins. They can weigh up to 1,100 pounds. The average length though is 6 ½ feet to 12 feet and the average weight is from 330 pounds to 440 pounds.

Fun Fact: You may hear dolphins referred to by various names. The young are called calves and the female adults are cows. The male adults are bulls and a group of them is often called a pod or a school.

Until next time. Naturalist Joshman here.
