Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Flipper, from the television series of the same name, was a bottlenose dolphin.

Answer: True

For a bottlenose dolphin, Flipper had a remarkable grasp of the English language and was quite adept at steering people in the right direction.
2. Which of the following has a bottlenose dolphin NOT been known as?

Answer: purple porpoise

To clear up confusion, the correct Latin (or scientific name) is Tursiops truncatus.
3. What is a bottlenose dolphin's body shaped like?

Answer: torpedo

The streamlined body of a dolphin helps them to glide through the water.
4. What is the nostril opening on the top of the dolphin's head known as?

Answer: blow-hole

When a bottlenose dolphin expels air through their blowhole, the stream of air and water can often be seen from far away.
5. How fast can a dolphin swim?

Answer: 25 miles per hour

Massive muscles in the rear half of the dolphin's body beat their tail-flukes up and down which propels the dolphin at quite high speeds.
6. Dolphins must eat __________ of their body weight each day.

Answer: 3-6%

That is a lot of food to catch for a dolphin weighing over 600 pounds! One way to reduce the number of fish required is to select fish with a high energy content.
7. Dolphins use echolocation.

Answer: True

Because seawater is sometimes opaque and hard to see through, dolphins use echolocation (finding something by bouncing sound waves off it) to build up a clearer picture of their environment.
8. How many offspring can a dolphin give birth to at one time?

Answer: 1

Calves are born singly and are usually a little under one meter in length at the time of their birth.
9. Dolphins usually travel alone.

Answer: False

Dolphins are highly social animals and usually travel in groups of anything from two or three individuals up to several hundred dolphins.
10. Approximately how long can dolphins live?

Answer: 50 years

Female dolphins usually live longer than males and have been recorded at over 50 years of age.
