Bottlenose dolphins are mammals found everywhere except in polar regions.
Bottlenose dolphins have short, stubby beaks. They have dark backs and much lighter undersides. The underside and lower sides are sometimes spotted.
Bottlenose dolphins can grow to be 3.6 meters (12 feet) long. They swim by moving their tail, or fluke, up and down. They eat mostly fish, squid, and crustaceans.
Dolphins use their small teeth to grip their prey.
