Bottled Nose Dolphins

Bottled Nose Dolphins
It was 6:15am and we were all in the boat on our way to Río Esquinas and a group of eight Bottled Nosed Dolphins were playing and jumping off the water.
These dolphins are the most common ones in the Golfo Dulce and they are very smart mammals, they hunt in groups surrounding their prey from the bottom to the surface and leaving them no option but jump off the water.
 
These dolphins can swim as fast as 35 km/h (21 knots) and they need to come out to the surface so they can breathe.
