We did not have any winners from last week’s show where we asked which cetacean species lives the longest. The answer is the Bowhead whale, which is thought to live well over 200 years. Now, for this week’s quiz: how many individual bones are in a dolphin’s dorsal fin? Think you know the answer?

How can you tell how old a dolphin is
In this week’s episode, we will review breaking Dolphin News from around the world, focus our Science Spotlight on dolphin sleep, and in our Kids’ Science Quickie, we’ll discuss how you can tell how old a dolphin is by looking at its teeth.
Dolphins sleep behavior is fundamentally different to that of humans
In this week’s science spotlight, we will be discussing sleep in dolphins and humans. For this episode, I interview Dr. Brendan Lucey. A graduate of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Dr.

In this week’s episode, we will review breaking Dolphin News from around the world, focus our Science Spotlight on Dolphin Assisted Therapy, and in our Kids’ Science Quickie, we’ll discuss pink dolphins.
In this week’s science spotlight, we will be discussing a popular but highly controversial form of animal therapy known as Dolphin Assisted Therapy. This episode features an interview with Dr. Lori Marino, senior lecturer in the Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology Program, at Emory University.
Still, I was able to observe the boys once more this trip. Jake, McGyver, Stormy, Andy, Shawn, Goombay and Salvador (the latter two below) swam all around me, and shared pec fin and body rubs. They also peppered me (so to speak) with buzzes and echolocation. Stormy and Goombay also whistled up a storm (not literally, thank goodness). Goombay also nibbled on my fins again, but to no avail.
Whether you’re a young student interested in learning more about dolphin biology, a college student looking for internship experiences working with dolphins, or a seasoned researcher hoping to connect with colleagues on topics of dolphin behavior, ecology, or cognition, you’ve come to the right place.
