Fact: Found throughout the temperate and tropical waters of the world, the bottlenose dolphin is not technically listed as an endangered species. Source: Wikipedia Fact: Young dolphins are known to playfully create underwater bubble rings (that do not rise to the surface) by injecting air into water vortices. These underwater toys are then pushed about by their rostrum (snout), bitten, and elongated by the baby dolphins. Source: Project Delphis
