Bottlenose dolphins in many cases have the advantage of being an apex predator, that is, an animal that is not hunted for food by any other organism in their eco system. In cases where this is not always the case, they survive by defending themselves coordinating with other members of their pod to fight off potential threats. These animals utilize their teeth as their main method of defense.
How do dolphins protect. Temslefa
here is your answer:
By Living in pods.
Which is especially important when killer whales or sharks are nearby. If a shark tries to attack a dolphin in the pod, the other dolphins will circle the shark. Then they swim into the shark's underbelly, striking it with their snouts. A dolphin might also lie calmly in the water, tricking a predator into thinking it is dead. Sharks and killer whales tend to like only fresh meat, so the predator will usually swim past a dolphin playing dead.

How many teeth does a bottle nose dolphin have?
Asked by Wiki User
Bottlenose dolphins have a warm, happy smile that has made them popular in our culture. That's why I love them. Dolphins have a lump of fat on their head called the melon. They are a solid grey color with some dark spots, a bottlenose dolphin has a dorsal fin, like any other dolphin specimen. The tail, or fluke, indicates that the animal is a mammal. Marine mammal's tails move up and down, vertically. Fish tails move from side to side. Bottlenose dolphins also have two small fins on either side of their stomach. I hope my information was useful.
How has the australian snubfin dolphin adapted to its environment?
Asked by Wiki User
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.
