How has the australian snubfin dolphin adapted to its environment?

Answer 1

Their teeth and snouts, often noted in the shape of a smile, is formed in a way that helps them to catch fish. The length of the snout also helps them to kill predators such as sharks, if one were to come after a young dolphin. Their blubber and smooth skin are used to move quickly through the water and when a dolphin dives down, which happens frequently for food, their heartbeat slows to save oxygen. As for intelligence, their brains are quite large and they show superior communication skills. One experiment had a diver play one dolphin noise. One of the dolphins placed its tail on the sandy ground and stood like the human. They mimicked the sound the humans had played and tried to continue the conversation by adding another sound. These "sounds" are echolocation, which means that the squeaks go out of the dolphin, hit objects, and then bounce back to the dolphin. This is how dolphins "see" under water.

Answer 2

Dolphins (the mammals, not the fish that is also known as Mahi-Mahi) are adapted to their environment is several ways:

• their forelegs have become flippers
• a tail fin
• dorsal fin that stabilizes movement
• torpedo shaped body that moves through water with much less resistance that land-animal shapes
• In dolphins, and other marine mammals, there is no great difference between the outer and inner ear environments. Instead of sound passing through the outer ear to the middle ear, dolphins receive sound through the throat, from which it passes through a low-impedance fat-filled cavity to the inner ear. The dolphin ear is acoustically isolated from the skull by air-filled sinus pockets, which allow for greater directional hearing underwater.
• The eyes of a dolphin are placed on the sides of its head, so their vision consists of two fields, rather than a binocular view like humans have. When dolphins surface, their lens and cornea correct the nearsightedness that results from the refraction of light; they contain both rod and cone shaped receptors so they can see well in both bright and dim light
• have glands on the eyelids and cornea that protect the cornea
• Dolphins have conical shape teeth which are used to catch swift prey such as fish, squid or large mammals, such as seals.

Answer 3

they are sutied by the environment as they are warm blooded mamals

Answer 4

It has to get used to the things surrounding it and then settle in to the new ecosystem.
