Press Release Summary: The Tursiops truncates, better known as the bottlenose dolphin, has sharp, cone-shaped teeth for feeding. Most dolphins have 20 to 25 teeth on each side of the upper jaw and 18 to 24 on each side of the lower jaw - that's 76 to 98 teeth in all! These teeth are not designed to bite into flesh as land carnivores do; instead, they are for grasping the meat.
Press Release Body: The Tursiops truncates, better known as the bottlenose dolphin, has sharp, cone-shaped teeth for feeding. Most dolphins have 20 to 25 teeth on each side of the upper jaw and 18 to 24 on each side of the lower jaw - that's 76 to 98 teeth in all! These teeth are not designed to bite into flesh as land carnivores do; instead, they are for grasping the meat. Their simple teeth have only one root and are all of the same size and type; for this reason they are identified as homodonts. Dolphins have a muscular tongue and a narrow pharynx. There is no danger that food will pass into their windpipe since the respiratory and digestive tracts are separate from each other. With the exception of the parotid glands, they do not have salivary glands. The four-sac stomach compound opens up at the base of the esophagus; food first falls into a mechanical sac of powerful muscles, where it mixes with clorohydric acid and enzymes from the digestive glands. The third sac, called the pyloric stomach, continues the digestive process. The last compartment (the duodenal stomach) is the widest, and it is where the tubes from the liver and pancreas empty out.
Pregnant females also receive oral doses of folic acid; newborn dolphins feed on mothers' milk and take their food by rolling their tongue in order to prevent water from filtering into the milk. After birth, dolphin babies stay close to their mothers for short periods of time, sucking on mothers' milk until being weaned at approximately six months. Veterinarians begin giving vitamin supplements following the period of lactation.
Interesting, don't you think?
So, dear friends, representatives and colleagues from travel agencies, now you know: In order to stay strong and healthy like our dolphins, besides a good dose of vitamin "T" (which most of us ingest through our fabulous tacos de canasta), don't forget to take vitamin E for smooth, elastic skin; vitamin C for a runny nose and -why not?- the entire alphabet of vitamins to keep yourself in top form for sales and customer service. See you soon! Don't forget to eat fruits and vegetables.
