:24:01
dolphins are opportunistic feeders
:24:03
and the young must learn
many extremely difficult

:24:07
and creative
hunting techniques

:24:21
the mother is using
sound in a way

:24:24
the calf may not be
capable of just yet

:24:40
the buzzing sound is a series
of rapid fire clicks

:24:44
part of a sophisticated sensory
system called echolocation

:24:49
the sound signals
penetrate the sands

:24:51
then echo back, giving a clear
indication of what lies below

:25:05
it's like x-ray vision
:25:06
capable of seeing through
almost any porous medium

:25:21
dolphin calves can create
sounds shortly after birth

:25:25
mostly whistles
used for communication

:25:29
the clicks required for echolocation
may take months to develop

:25:35
like most intelligent
predators

:25:37
dolphins learn to hunt
by making a game out of it

:25:52
this trunkfish is
not part of their diet

:25:55
but for the young dolphins
:25:57
it's a target to practice on
