The age for mating depends on the location of the Bottlenose Dolphin. It can range from 5 to 13 years for females and from 9 to 14 years for the males. After mating, it takes a year for the young calf to be born. They will drink milk from the mother until they are from 18 to 20 months old. The mothers will take care of the young until they are several years old. Females often have new offspring every 3 to 6 years. Males have an average lifespan of 40 to 45 years and females have an average life of 50 years in the wild.

  • Decreased surface-to-volume ratio. The dolphin's fusiform body shape and reduced limb size decrease the amount of surface area exposed to the external environment. This helps dolphins conserve body heat. Dolphins adapted to cooler, deeper water generally have larger bodies and smaller flippers than coastal dolphins, further reducing the ratio of surface area to overall body mass.
