One of Hilton Head Island’s mostpopular residents, Atlantic Bottle-nose Dolphins are abundant in localwaters. In fact, these incrediblemarine mammals share so manycharacteristics with humans it can beargued they are our underwatercounterparts.

One example is the way they givebirth.

Female dolphins give live birth andnurse their young for up to threeyears. Male calves often stay withthe mother for up to five years andpotentially for the rest of their lives,if female.

In the wintertime, the Bottlenose popu-lation averages from 200 to 400animals. Early spring through latefall, we are inundated with dolphinsas females from all over the South-eastern coast make an annual trek tothe area to give birth. Other females

act as midwives and nannies, oftentaking turns watching over the youngas the mother feeds.

Males tag along, following thefemales wherever they go – yetanother human trait!

From a boat, you will often see theyoung calves swimming and play-ing with the other dolphins in thepod. Providing abundant food forthe mothers, Lowcountry watersalso give the young dolphins afairly safe environment to practiceswimming and hunting before mov-ing on to other parts of the coast.

Although they lack the gracefulnessof an adult dolphin, the calves’ play-fulness and energy tends to remindone of their own youth.
