Bottlenose Dolphin
The dolphin is considered one of the most intelligent creatures on earth.
They use sound to navigate and find food underwater. They give out
high-pitched clicks, about 14 times higher than the human ear can hear.
When these sounds hit solid objects in the water, they send back an echo.
The dolphin can tell where an object is located. They generally
swim side by side, so as not to interfere with other each others signals.
This system is very similar to sonar used by ships. It is believed
that dolphins communicate with one another through their own language.
They have trained to perform many tricks at marine park.
