SKYPE: Dolphin Social Structure -
Today we had a lesson on dolphin natural history in preparation for Zach’s upcoming field lab. We discussed the gender differences that are important in defining a group in the wild. We also discussed how males are required to spend more time with their mothers to learn how to be good citizens, while females work as babysitters and are exposed to these lessons during that activity. We talked about male dolphins having one male friend that is their constant companion during their lives, and the larger coalition which they join to perform group activities and female have a social group depending on the age of their youngest calf. Finally, we examined how this is helpful in determining the gender of animals in the wild.
