Bottlenosed dolphins eat a wide variety of squid, fish, and crustaceans such as shrimp. They usually eat 4% to 5% of their body weight in food per day, however a nursing mother's intake could be up to 8%.

Bottlenose Dolphins are the most common Dolphins in the Delphinidae family. They are also the most common kind of Dolphins. They also are claimed to be small whales. They also belong to a group of whales called "Toothed Whales." Bottlenose Dolphins are mammals and they are warm-blooded. They have a blowhole on the top of their head, just like whales do. The Bottlenose Dolphin gets its name from its mouth, which is rounded and looks like a bottle. People thought that the mouth of the Bottlenose Dolphin looked like a nose instead of a mouth.
