The Indo-Pacific is one of the most popular types of bottlenose dolphins in the world. They are approximately 8 ½ feet in length and weigh up to 500 pounds. They are either dark gray or black in color. They underside of the belly is often a dark white or a lighter shade of gray.
They are long and sleek in their body design so they have a great freedom of movement. They have very long noses which is where they get their namesake from. Many people have found them to be the image they think of when dolphins are the topic.
Distribution
You will find this type of bottlenose dolphin in many areas. They include India, the Red Sea, China, Australia, and Africa. The exact numbers of them remaining isn’t known but they don’t seem to be at risk of dropping too low. They do have a type of migration that they follow to get to warmer areas. They also seem to migrate to meet up with larger groups for mating purposes at certain times of the year.
