What observation did scientists make about dolphins in Shark Bay Western Australia?
Scientists have had many opportunities to study the dolphins of Shark Bay, as these dolphins happily interact with people. One thing they have noticed is that dolphins in this area use marine sponges as tools, with the parent dolphins actively teaching their youngsters how to use them. Apparently, dolphins use the marine sponges for protection, using them like gloves to protect their sensitive rostrum (snout), while seeking out prey from the rocky seabed. They have also been observed using the sponges as tools to detect bottom-dwelling fish that lack swimbladders, and which cannot be detected by the dolphins' usual methods of vision and echolocation.
