The intelligence of dolphins is a valuable resource that provides insight into their behavior. You should watch these magnificent creatures carefully during your dolphin tour. These cetaceans are capable of performing complex and unusual actions in the animal world.
From DAY TO NIGHT.
While most dolphins are active throughout the day, they are more active in the afternoon and morning. The conditions in their habitat and the season (breeding season or mating season) determine what they do throughout the day. The time of day, the physiological conditions of their bodies and the weather are all factors that influence what they do.
SLEEPING BEHAVIOR
Although there was some uncertainty regarding dolphins’ sleep patterns, several studies have shown that they sleep in a different way to humans. They need consciousness to reach the surface and breath, so they keep one hemisphere of their brains active while the other rests. Dolphins kept in captivity, however, have a different resting pattern than wild dolphins. They keep their blowholes off the water and don’t respond to light stimuli. This may be because they don’t worry about predators in their tanks, which could make it harder for them to breathe.
They may also throw their food out, a behavior that is quite unusual.
Platanta gangetica major, the Indus river dolphin, is a case in point. The river, which is full of dangerous materials and strong currents, allows this dolphin to rest only for 4-60 minutes each day.
TRAVEL BEHAVIOR.
Many species travel in a straight line. You can check this out during your North Myrtle Beach dolphin tours. They can travel by themselves or with others, or they can swim on the surface to conserve energy from the friction of water. This allows them to better orient themselves or get rid of parasites. They will often surface to breathe when they are at rest.
You can either do the feeding activities alone or in groups. Working together to catch more prey and have less energy consumption, you can also work with others. They may also throw their food out when they have a “cough”.
Researchers were amazed to discover that shark bay dolphins in Australia have characteristics of culture development. This is a collection of ideas, beliefs and customs learned in a society, and passed down from generation to generation. This was based on the observation of cetaceans shielding their “snouts” from harsh surfaces with marine sponges. Later, their offspring did the same. This behavior was not passed from their parents but was inherited.
LET’S PLAY!
Dolphins love to play with other dolphins and objects. When you go on a jet ski dolphin tour, you will notice that they can jump as high as 4.9m above the water surface, either with their stomachs down or on their backs. They follow the bow or stern of boats.

Dolphins are known for playing with objects, passing on their attention to other dolphins and chasing each other. They often make bubbles in water and then take the time to recreate their own bubbles in the ocean. This playful behavior can also include other dolphin species and animals like Risso dolphins, Pantropical spotted dolphins, pilot whales, and humpback whales.
They are not interested in other games. For example, they can be seen catching birds and submerging the birds several meters below. However, they do not eat them.
This behavior is not a good idea.
There are many dangers in the habitat of dolphins. They quickly respond to any unpleasant situation near their pod by swimming to the surface, exhaling and striking the water with the tail. Then they group together very closely. Any external factor that causes dolphins to become disturbed can have negative consequences, including stress, wounds, abnormal migrations, and reduced reproductive success.
To monitor the environment and communicate danger to others, adult males swim around the perimeter of their pod territory. Dolphins will usually avoid sharks and flee from them if they are within their reach, but there have been instances when these cetaceans attacked and killed sharks.
Dolphins will avoid sharks and flee from danger if they’re near them. However, if threatened, they can learn how to defend themselves.
FRIENDLY DOLLINS
Dolphins are social animals that interact with each other and sometimes with other cetaceans.
Dolphins are known for their charming personality, as can be observed when on board a charter boat. They are friendly and docile with humans, as well as being close to their friends. They form strong social bonds, help wounded dolphins, share food and water, and will even approach divers and bathers. Unconfirmed reports have dolphins offering fish, octopus and squid to humans as gifts.
