WASHINGTON — Some dolphins in Australia have a special technique to flush fish from the seafloor. They hunt with a sponge on their beak, like a clown nose. Using the sponge to protect from sharp rocks ...

A team of researchers has managed to delve deeper into the minds of dolphins. They are hopeful that it will aid them in understanding an intriguing process called "echolocation," which stimulates ...

Researchers investigated the propulsion mechanism by visualizing water flow around a swimmer during underwater dolphin-kick swimming in a water channel via particle image velocimetry. Their findings ...

But this behavior — passed down through generations — is trickier than it looks, according to new research published Tuesday in the journal Royal Society Open Science. Hunting with a sponge on their ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some dolphins in Australia have a special technique to flush fish from the seafloor. They hunt with a sponge on their beak, like a clown nose. Using the sponge to protect from sharp ...

Like humans, dolphins give birth to live young, but rather than a hospital room, they do so while submerged entirely underwater! As you can imagine, this comes with a unique set of challenges. Imagine ...

Tsukuba, Japan—The swimming motion imparts momentum to water, a fluid, thereby generating a propulsive force. Thus, we can understand the propulsion mechanism by examining the water flow generated by ...
