Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Euan Dunn (illustrator). 1st Paperpack Edition. Paperback. This book covers true dolphins, porpoises and small toothed whales. It describes the unique, highly developed co-operative behaviour displayed by dolphins, and in particular by bottle-nosed dolphins and killer whales: their communal fishing strategies, their helping of others in distress, the 'babysitting' by aunts of new born calves, and even sometimes suckling of them. It also discusses dolphin communication and social behaviour, the strong bonds between mother and calf and the method of acoustic imprinting. The book also addresses questions on pollution - including noise pollution. Illustrations. 128 pp.
