	Dolphin
		A dolphin is an aquatic mammal of the order Cetacea, which also includes the whales and porpoises.
		The dolphin family is the largest in the Cetacea, and relatively recent: dolphins evolved about 10 million years ago, during the Miocene.
		Dolphin (or more properly, dolphinfish) is also used to describe a species of fish which is unrelated to the mammal.

	Dolphin (aquatic mammal) - MSN Encarta
		Although these dolphins are commonly known as ocean dolphins, some members of this family inhabit freshwater rivers and lakes in addition to the ocean.
		Bottlenose dolphins are grayish in color and reach a length of 4 m (13 ft) and a weight of 650 kg (1,430 lb).
		Spinner dolphins became the focus of media attention in the late 1960s when fishing fleets increasingly used purse seine fishing nets to catch yellowfin tuna, accidentally trapping and drowning spinner dolphins in the nets.

		Once considered one of the many variations of long-snouted spinner dolphins, the clymene was officially classified as a seperate species in 1981.
		The Clymene Dolphin is a slender creature, closely resembling the Hawaiian form of the Spinner Dolphin.
		Clymene Dolphins associate with both Spinner and Common Dolphins, but are not as dramatically acrobatic as the former.

		Dolphin behavior s breaching]] Dolphins are often regarded as one of Earth's most intelligent species, though it is hard to say just how intelligent dolphins are as straightforward comparisons of species' relative intelligence are complicated by differences in sensory apparatus, response modes, and nature of cognition.
		Dolphins will also kill porpoises for reasons which are not fully understood, as porpoises generally do not share the same fish diet as dolphins and are therefore not competitors for food supplies.

	CMS: Stenella clymene, Clymene dolphin
		The Clymene dolphin Stenella clymene is found in tropical and warm temperate waters of both the North and South Atlantic Oceans (Fertl et al.
		The clymene dolphins were swimming in close association with schools of spinner dolphins but remained clustered together and did not approach the vessel as closely as the spinners did.
		Clymene dolphins are taken by harpoon in small numbers in a subsistence fishery at St Vincent in the Lesser Antilles.

		Other species of dolphins live in cold waters, such as the Atlantic white-sided dolphin that can be seen from the Gulf of St.Lawrence to the North Sea, and the hourglass dolphin that lives in the waters of the Antarctic.
		Unlike us, dolphins breathing is not automatic, so they have to think to breathe rather than think to hold their breath.
		Therefore, as a dolphin swims, it moves its head back and forth to scan its surroundings, while the echos it sends out bounce off objects and hit the lower jawbone, which conducts the returning sound waves to the inner ear.

	Dolphin Summary
		Dolphins are aquatic mammals related to whales and porpoises, famous for their intelligence, apparent compassion, and joy.
		Dolphins are widely believed to be amongst the most intelligent of all animals, though it is hard to say just how intelligent dolphins are as straightforward comparisons of species' relative intelligence are complicated by differences in sensory apparatus, response modes, and nature of cognition.
		Most dolphins have acute eyesight, both in and out of the water, and their sense of hearing is superior to that of humans.

	North American Mammals: Stenella clymene
		The Clymene dolphin is distinguished from the very similar spinner dolphin by the shortness of its beak and its color pattern.
		Clymene dolphins feed on deep-water fish and squid, and except for stranded individuals, have only been seen in deep water.
		Often the dolphins have small white marks on their skin that are healed shark bites.

	The Spinner Dolphin
		The common name for this dolphin derives from its behaviour - these dolphins typically spin around on their longitudinal axis as they breach, although they are often seen breaching in the normal way.
		Spinner dolphins used to occur in herds of pods of >1000 animals, although nowadays occurrences of herds around 300 hundred are high, and in fact pods of 20 to 100 animals are more common.
		Dolphins have two voices: the more sonic (audible to humans) is a vocabulary of clicks and whistles uttered above and below water, these are used together with mechanical noises such as jaw-snapping, slapping of flippers or crash-dives after leaping at the surface.

		The clymene dolphin is known only from the tropical and subtropical Atlantic; it apparently does not inhabit the Indian or Pacific Oceans.
		Based on capture records, S. clymene appears to be the most common cetacean in Ghana’s coastal waters, but no individual stocks have been distinguished on the coasts of West Africa (van Waerebeek et al.
		However, new West African specimens of S. clymene are evidence that the present unequal distribution of this species in the western and eastern parts of the tropical North Atlantic could be an artefact of poor sampling in African waters (Robineau et al.

		The Clymene Dolphin (Stenella clymene), in some texts known as the Short-snouted Spinner Dolphin, is a dolphin endemic to the Atlantic Ocean.
		From its discovery by John Gray in 1850 until a re-assessment in 1981, the Clymene Dolphin was regarded as sub-species of the Spinner Dolphin.
		Clymene Dolphins grow to about two metres in length and 75-80 kg in weight.

		Initially known only from skulls and thought to be a variant of Spinner Dolphin (S. longirostris), Clymene Dolphin was granted full species status as recently as 1981.
		Clymene Dolphin is closely related to Spinner Dolphin but has a shorter beak, more rounded headshape, chunkier body and more hooked (falcated) dorsal fin.

	Spinner Dolphin Behavior, pictures, Why do Spinner Dolphins Spin?
		In Hawaii, the spotted dolphins can leap higher (we've had them jump high enough to be at eye level to us in a vessel's tuna tower!) than a spinner, but except for the Clymene dolphin, no other dolphins spin (naturally anyhow).
		A spinning dolphin may be signaling to the others: "here I am — here is where I am going..." The effect of many dolphins spinning and leaping at once, defines what scientists call the envelope of the school — that is, its size, direction, and speed of travel.
		Dolphins that appear to be closely bonded may swim in synchrony, twisting, turning and swimming in perfect harmony together.

		Dolphins have colonized all oceans and seas of the planet, from polar to tropical regions, true mammals they must get oxygen from air and not from water such as fish, their infants are born underwater and must be brought up to the surface immediately to survive.
		Dolphin respiration is not a reflex such as with human being, it is a voluntary act.
		A female dolphin can detect that a swimming human female is pregnant (and will often in reaction tend to protect her).

		Dolphins are aquatic mammals related to whales and porpoises.
		Unlike the sharing among all of the group by simian primates, dolphins mostly hand their knowledge of how to use a tool from mothers to daughters.
		Though they have a small ear opening on each side of their head it is believed hearing underwater is also if not exclusively done with the lower jaw which conducts the vibrations to the middle ear via a fat filled cavity in the lower jaw bone.

	The Dolphins' View
		Generally, dolphins are larger and more streamlined; porpoises are shorter and stockier.
		Dolphins have larger and falcate ('hooked') dorsal fins, whereas porpoises have either triangular dorsal fins (without a curve), or no dorsal fin at all (in the case of the Finless Porpoise).
		Furthermore, most dolphins have a 'beak', while porpoises are 'beakless', with a rounded snout.
