Bottlenose dolphins - dancing and blowing air underwater
Bottlenose dolphins - dancing and blowing air underwater (Tursiops truncatus). Complex play / creative behaviour: dolphins often play with the bubbles or rings of air they create, both visually and by using sonar. They appear to enjoy biting the vortex rings, so that these burst into many separate normal bubbles, which then rise more rapidly to the surface. They also play games, diving through the bubble rings for fun!This group of dolphins are captive in Oltremare a theme park dedicated to the Adriatic sea located in Riccione, Italy, and are used in shows, educational programs (specially for school children) and research (we are studying mainly sound and echo location). From left to right:- Achille, 4 year old captive born; Bonnie, 30 years old mother of Achille; Ulisse, 9 years old captive born; Bravo, 28 years old father of Achille, Silver, Golia, Tabo, Ulisse; Tabo, 13 years old captive born; Candy, 27 years old mother of Tabo & Ulisse; Golia, 13 years old captive born; Micha, 20 year old male (starting a reproductive program this year); Silver, 9 years old captive born

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting underwater scene, a captivating group of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) engage in intriguing and complex play behaviors, creating mesmerizing bubbles and blowing air underwater in the crystal-clear waters of Oltremare, a theme park dedicated to the wonders of the Adriatic Sea in Riccione, Italy. Bottlenose dolphins are renowned for their intelligence and creativity, often manipulating the bubbles and rings of air they produce for both visual and sonar stimulation. The dolphins in this image seem to revel in the joy of biting the vortex rings, causing them to burst into numerous smaller bubbles that rise rapidly to the surface. Their playful antics continue as they dive through the bubble rings, adding an extra layer of excitement to their underwater ballet. From left to right, this engaging pod includes Achille, a 4-year-old captive-born dolphin; Bonnie, a 30-year-old mother of Achille; Ulisse, a 9-year-old captive-born dolphin; Bravo, a 28-year-old father of Achille; Silver, a 9-year-old captive-born dolphin; Golia, a 13-year-old captive-born dolphin; Tabo, a 13-year-old captive-born dolphin; Candy, a 27-year-old mother of Tabo and Ulisse; and Micha, a 20-year-old male who is starting a reproductive program this year. Oltremare is committed to providing a stimulating environment for these magnificent creatures, offering them opportunities for shows, educational programs for school children, and research initiatives, particularly focusing on sound and echo location.
