In-air visual acuity of the bottlenose dolphin
Experimental Neurology, 1973Abstract Using the method of constant stimuli, horizontal black and white line gratings were presented to a bottlenose dolphin in a successive discrimination task. Over a constant viewing distance of 2.8 m, a minimal visual angle of 18 min of arc was obtained. This value is poorer than that reported for pinnipeds, but comparable to functions reported

Quantitative Examination of the Bottlenose Dolphin Cerebellum
The Anatomical Record, 2013ABSTRACTNeuroanatomical research into the brain of the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) has revealed striking similarities with the human brain in terms of size and complexity. However, the dolphin brain also contains unique allometric relationships. When compared to the human brain, the dolphin cerebellum is noticeably larger.

A DNA vaccine against dolphin morbillivirus is immunogenic in bottlenose dolphins
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2007The immunization of exotic species presents considerable challenges. Nevertheless, for facilities like zoos, animal parks, government facilities and non-profit conservation groups, the protection of valuable and endangered species from infectious disease is a growing concern.

Cognitive skills in bottlenose dolphin communication
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2013Bottlenose dolphins display a behavioural skill set that makes them an interesting model system for the study of complexity in communication and cognition. They are capable of vocal learning, referential labelling, syntax comprehension, and joint attention.

Sounds Emitted by the Bottlenose Dolphin
Science, 1961The sonic emissions of the bottlenose dolphin are remarkably complex. Three classes of these sounds are discussed and presented graphically. The sine-type wave whistles range in frequency from about 4000 to 18,000 cycles per second. The clicks contain components of this same frequency range plus some components of higher frequencies.

PREGNANCY IS A DRAG FOR BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2011![Figure][1] Lumbering around during the final weeks before delivery is tough for any pregnant mum. Most females adjust their movements to compensate for the extreme physical changes that accompany the later stages of pregnancy.

Language Studies with Bottlenosed Dolphins
2004Louis Herman conducts his dolphin research in tanks located at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal Laboratory in Honolulu, Hawaii. Visitors ascend stairs into a tower above two seawater tanks, one situated to the north and another to the south of the structure. The tanks are circular, 50 feet in diameter.

“The Bottlenose Dolphin” (An Eco-comic)
2020Comics is a medium for transporting messages and information in a very direct and efficient way, since it is primarily based on visual information, which may be extremely reduced and focused. This makes it not only suitable especially for children, but also for adult people. Although comic magazines once have been considered as “junk”, comics today has
