You’ve probably imagined dolphins having relationships much like those of us and other primates.

But, how on earth can scientists actually measure such a thing?

Join newly minted Ph.D. Dr. Nicole Danaher-Garcia as she shares more about her investigations into the social bonds among the Atlantic spotted dolphins off Bimini, The Bahamas. This program is geared toward ages 14 and up, but all are welcome.

You can prepare by watching (or re-watching!) Dr.



In this Dolphin Lesson, DCP intern Raina guides participants through drawing a dolphin. With dolphin body part facts thrown in along the way, this lesson is a great kick-off to our Fall 2020 Dolphin Lesson webinar line up!

You can simply watch along, or grab paper and a pencil/pen or a drawing tablet to try your hand at drawing a dolphin!

Dolphin Lessons are geared toward ages 6-13, but everyone is welcome.



In this Dolphin Lesson, Dr. Kathleen meets up with Teri Bolton from the Roatan Institute for Marine Sciences (RIMS). You may remember Ms. Teri and the RIMS bottlenose dolphins in our May 5th webinar and we’re excited to cover even more bottlenose dolphin information in this next Lesson.

Dolphin Lessons are geared toward ages 6-13. Nothing to do in advance – just watch and learn!
