Bottlenose dolphins are one of the few species that can use their own vocal signature to provide themselves with an identity. At an early age, dolphins create their own unique whistle so that they can call to others and vice versa, much like saying someone’s name.
Bottlenose dolphins are also known for their strong emotional attachments to one another and will protect each other at all cost. There have even been cases where dolphins have saved humans from sharks and also helped fisherman catch fish, knowing that they’ll get to eat whatever doesn’t get caught in the fishermen’s net.
