Coastline Treasures

Dolphin home décor is replicated out of true features of a dolphin.  So, does it make you wonder about dolphin behaviors?  One of the most common types of dolphin is the bottlenose dolphin, and because of this, it’s most interesting to study their behavioral patterns. 

Its common to think of the different migratory patterns of animals, especially sea animals, in relation to the seasons.  However, the truth is, bottlenose dolphins do not migrate the way most animals do.  In fact, they don’t technically migrate at all.  Migration refers to the movement of an entire species from one geographical location to another.  However, bottlenose dolphins do not move as a species, but rather individual choices within the pod.  They also do not completely change geographical location. 

Instead of migration, bottlenose dolphins “move”.  They travel up and down the coastline, sometimes at great distances, to find and follow food.  During movement, some dolphins move great lengths; others barely relocate.  This is why in any season its possible to see a dolphin at the beach.
