Bottlenose Dolphin
Tursiops truncatus

Mostly harmless
danger 2 out of 5
What you should know
Smart, playful and not dangerous, but still a big wild animal. It is against the law in America to feed or touch a wild dolphin.
Whoa
Every dolphin has its own signature whistle, basically a name, and they call each other by it.
Staying safe around it
Treat it with respect, keep your distance, and tell a grown-up if you see one up close.
Always ask a grown-up before you touch any animal or plant. If something bites or stings you, tell an adult right away.
