get ready to be disillusioned when you
think of bottlenose dolphins what comes
to mind flipper
maybe those frisky crowd-pleasers at the
aquarium
well bottlenose dolphins can be
aggressive and combative here in the
Bahamas these two bottlenose are picking
a fight for this spotted doll broadly
just to establish their dominance
then just to show it’s not a species
thing they turn on one of their own a
smaller bottle hose and start giving it
a hard time here the Dolphins true
aggressive nature is revealed before Oh
bottlenose will attack it engages in a
behavior called
jaw clapping this is a clear visual and
audible threat after the threat comes
the tussle including a pretty nasty tail
light yep
conflict and violence every day light
from bottlenose dolphin they also fight
over females these two males flank this
female to keep her from stray
female Dolphins want to mate with as
many males as possible males want them
to mate with well just them hence tight
order guard duty this includes the
audible warning
males form alliances sometimes even
super alliances like this one made up of
14 dolphins
thus the females have to figure out a
way to defeat this kind of bully boy
behavior
when an alliance harasses a female with
a baby she fights with all the fury a
mother can muster protecting her child
it seems to be one of the few times the
macho males can put in their place
