The bottle nosed dolphin is usually a charcoal gray, often with a pink belly in the summer. These water mammals, who can reach up to 9 ft. in length and can weigh up to 500 lbs., feast on shrimp, fish invertebrates, and squid. The dolphins hunt in a very peculiar way. Sometimes the will run fish into mud banks and other times they will herd them together. They communicate in a system of squeals, clicks, and whistles and use echolocation to get around.
