How do Spinner dolphins communicate danger to others?

Spinner dolphins communicate danger by emitting acoustic signals, known as whistles or burst-pulse sounds, to alert other group members. These vocalizations convey information about the type and intensity of the threat, allowing group members to coordinate their response and flee if necessary. They may also use body language, such as jumping or tail slapping, to signal danger to others.


What does a spinner dolphin look like?

Spinner dolphins have a distinctive appearance with a long, slender beak, a dark grey back, and a white or light grey underside. They are known for their acrobatic displays, often leaping out of the water and spinning rapidly in mid-air. They also have a distinct tri-color pattern on their bodies, with dark grey, light grey, and white markings.

Why does the spinner with longer wings take longer to fall?

The spinner with longer wings has a greater surface area, which increases air resistance and slows down its fall. This air resistance counteracts the force of gravity acting on the spinner, causing it to descend more slowly than one with shorter wings.
