	Bottlenose Dolphin \| Cetacean Fact Sheet \| American Cetacean Society
		The bottlenose dolphin (like the beluga) has more flexibility in its neck than other oceanic dolphins, because 5 of the 7 neck vertebrae are not fused together as in the other oceanic dolphins.
		The color of the bottlenose dolphin varies considerably, but generally this dolphin is light gray to slate gray on the upper part of the body shading to lighter sides and pale, pinkish gray on the belly.
		Bottlenose dolphins are vulnerable to pollution, habitat alteration, boat collisions, human feeding of and swimming with wild animals, and human disturbance (such as boating).

	Whale Web: Bottlenose Dolphins
		Bottlenose dolphins are probably the most easily recognized type of dolphins throughout the world, made popular by the TV show "Flipper" and marine parks.
		The gestation period for a bottlenose dolphin is about 12 months, and a young dolphin will stay close to its mother and nurse anywhere from a year to a year and a half, though it may also eat or play with food offered by its mother at several months of age.
		Bottlenoses are also known to surf waves, and can often be seen riding the curl of a wave, then swimming back out to catch another one in.

	Longman's Beaked Whale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Longman’s Beaked Whale (Indopacetus pacificus), also known as the Indo-Pacific Beaked Whale and the Tropical Bottlenose Whale, was considered to be the world’s rarest cetacean until recently, but the Spade Toothed Whale now holds that position.
		A whale washed up near Danae, Somalia in 1955 was processed into fertilizer with only the skull remaining, and biologist Joseph C. Moore used it to effectively demonstrate that it was a unique species.
		The female specimen from the Maldives was 6 meters (20 feet) in length with a 1 meter (3 foot) fetus, and the Japanese female was 6.5 meters (22 feet) in length.

	SARA Public Registry - Text Version
		Representation of the population organisation of the Bottlenose Whales
		Northern Bottlenose Whales are present consistently, throughout the year, in a 20 km x 8 km "core area," at the entrance of the Gully, a submarine canyon on the edge of the Scotian Shelf (Faucher and Whitehead 1991; Reeves, Mitchell and Whitehead 1993; Figure 1).
		The habitat of the Bottlenose Whales south of Nova Scotia is the waters near the edge of the continental shelf which are greater than 1000 m deep, but the overwhelming focus of their distribution is the 20 km x 8 km core area at the entrance of the Gully.

		Young bottlenose whales are dark brown to fl in colour; older whales are light to yellowish brown with whitish beaks and foreheads.
		Bottlenose whales have regularly made recorded dives of over 1,000 metres in the waters of the continental shelf and often remain at these depths for more than an hour in search of food.
		The northern bottlenose whale is a major beneficiary of the Gully MPA and its regulations which prohibit the disturbance, damage, destruction or removal of any living marine organism or habitat within the Gully.

		Young bottlenose whales are dark, fl to brown in colour on the dorsal surface, and greyish white ventrally.
		The number of bottlenose whales stranded on the British coast seems to increase in the autumn, possibly due to a southward migration at this time of the year, and most sightings from UK waters occur at this time.
		Northern bottlenose whales are usually found in groups of 1 to 4 animals; it is rare to see larger groups, although several groups may be seen in the vicinity of one another.

	Bottlenose - the Prince of Whales
		The northern bottlenose whale population is distributed across the North Atlantic, with concentrations west and east of Iceland and west of the Faroes.
		The value of the bottlenose whale to the local communities and the regularity of its occurrence is reflected in the ancient "døglingabýti" - special custo-mary rules for distributing the meat of the bottlenose whale which differ from the rules for distribution of pilot whales.
		Bottlenose whales, as well as a number of other species, were caught offshore around the North Atlantic in commercial operations, mostly by Norwegian whalers, who also sold bottlenose meat to the UK as pet food until the market closed in the early 1970s.

	Whale makes splash
		The northern bottlenose whale was spotted in central London in the afternoon - the first sighting in the river since whale-watching records began in 1913 - as it flailed around the murky waters of the Thames, stirring up patches of what looked like blood as seagulls hovered above and rescue boats were on the ready.
		Other witnesses reported seeing a second whale in another part of the river yesterday, and marine experts spotted two disoriented whales off northeastern Scotland last week, suggesting something was causing bottlenose whales to become confused.
		Northern bottlenose whales are normally seen in the deep northern Atlantic, traveling in pods.

	Sun.Star Davao - Matina Aplaya 'dolphin' could be a rare whale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		THE giant dolphin that beached and died at Matina Aplaya Tuesday night could be a beaked whale and not a bottlenose dolphin (Torpsius truncatus) as earlier theorized because of its size and the position of its dorsal fin (the fin on its back that is visible above water when the creature swims near the surface).
		Other beaked whales that are sometimes mistaken as a southern bottlenose are the Arnoux's beaked whale, the Curvier beaked whale and the Baird's beaked whale.
		The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society has no estimate of its present population and the threats to its population because it is very rarely seen and therefore not studied.
