Don't know what this really is......3344. Old persuasive

We know that dolphins come in all different sizes, but there are also different species of dolphins. The Pacific Bottlenose and the Rough-toothed are just a few. They all have different characteristics but also they have different personalities. So why you may ask is it better to be one over the other, well there are many reasons. But I will let you decide for yourself.


The Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin is best known for their in shore habits. The bottlenose dolphins are probably the most popular of all the cetacean species. They inhabit the waters of and around Hawaii. They also live in groups of two to fifteen dolphins. Also, they are easy to spot. The bottlenose dolphin learns very well in captivity. They are trained to be performers. Also, they get along well with their trainers. They are very protective creatures.

The Rough-toothed dolphin got their name from the “wrinkled” surface of their teeth. This ahs many fine vertical grooves running from the gumline to the tip. You cannot identify this dolphin as easily from a boat because of its characteristics. The rough-toothed dolphin is very colorful, which this may help in identifying the rough-toothed a little more clearly. Sometimes researchers may refer to it as the “polka-dot” or “calico”. They are about the same size as the bottlenose but can be easily distinguished by their longer and more pointed snouts. These dolphins are found mostly in off shore waters of Hawaii. They are usually seen by deep-sea fishermen. They tend to travel in small groups of three of four.

Between the Bottlenose Dolphin and the Rough-toothed Dolphin, it seems that being a bottlenose would be a lot more fun. This would be because a bottlenose is more identifying and easier to spot than the rough-toothed. Bottlenose dolphins also tend to swim in larger groups and they stay closer to shore. I know that it I were in Hawaii, I would want to be able to see dolphins from the beaches that having to go out on a boat and see them that way. Plus, the way it sounds to me, is that the bottlenose dolphins are more common and a little more sleeker looking.

Also, as you can see, Bottlenose Dolphins are more playful and easier to train in aquatic stadiums and can be very successful in learning their tricks. Also, as I stated before these creatures are very protective of the things that surround them. Such as family or friends. If it were up to me I know that I would like to be the dolphin that everybody knows and loves. Jumping and flipping about, in and out of the water, sounds so exciting.

So now that you have learned some information about these two totally different dolphins, you yourself need to make the choice on which dolphin is more entertaining to watch that the other. Well folks, the poles are in and they seem to all agree that the Bottlenose Dolphin is much better than the Rough-toothed Dolphin.
