Ocean Waves and a Leaping Dolphin
Above the foamy sea waves of a coastal cove, a sleek dolphin propels itself high into the air. In the background of this marine environment, steep rocky cliffs rise from the ocean while a floating buoy marks the navigational route through the open water.
Marine Science and Dolphin Acrobatics
Dolphins jump out of the water, a behavior called breaching, for multiple practical reasons including communication, dislodging parasites, and navigating wave swells. As air-breathing marine mammals, they use a blowhole located on top of their heads to inhale oxygen when surfacing. Buoys floating in coastal waters serve as anchored nautical signals to guide boats safely around hidden underwater rocks.
