The bottlenose dolphin is a toothed whale in the genus Tursiops. They are common, cosmopolitan members of the family Delphinidae, the family of oceanic dolphins.
Molecular studies show the genus contains three species: the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus), and Tamanend's bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops erebennus).
Bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate seas worldwide, being found everywhere except for the Arctic and Antarctic Circle regions. Their name derives from the Latin tursio (dolphin) and truncatus for the truncated teeth (the type specimen was old and had worn down teeth; this is not a typical characteristic of most members of the species).
Numerous investigations of bottlenose dolphin intelligence have been conducted, examining mimicry, use of artificial language, object categorisation, and self-recognition. They can use tools (sponging; using marine sponges to forage for food sources they normally could not access) and transmit cultural knowledge from generation to generation, and their considerable intelligence has driven interaction with humans.
Bottlenose dolphins gained popularity from aquarium shows and television programmes such as Flipper. They have also been trained by militaries to locate sea mines or detect and mark enemy divers. In some areas, they cooperate with local fishermen by driving fish into their nets and eating the fish that escape. Some encounters with humans are harmful to the dolphins: people hunt them for food, and dolphins are killed inadvertently as a bycatch of tuna fishing and by getting caught in crab traps.
Common bottlenose dolphins have an encephalisation quotient of 5.26, which is even higher than chimpanzees. This more than likely contributes to their high intelligence.
I saw this pod whilst on a boat trip in the Bay of Islands on the north-east coast of New Zealand's North Island.

Zoom shot of the travellers on the London Eye! I would love to go on here one day - though the length of the queue we walked by was very very long!

Kamienica Pod Murzynami, Rynek Główny, Kraków, 10 września 2015 r.
Nazwa budynku nawiązuje do znajdującej się na jego rogu płaskorzeźby przedstawiającej dwóch Murzynów. W XVI w. w kamienicy mieściła się apteka "Pod Etiopami".

The name of the house refers to the relief of two Africans located at the corner. In the 16th century "Ad Aethiopes" pharmacy was located in the building.

I've been thinking about what to do with jet engines I got in a Chima set, and also thinking about building one more speeder to improve my building skills.
Today I came up with an idea of making a pod racer as in Star Wars: EP 1. However, the minifigure pilot I have is actually a resistance pilot, precisely appearing much later in the SW galaxy.
So I tried the speeder to be more like a EP 4 thing, rather than a streamlined naboo star fighter.
Probably the resistance appropriated the Pod Racer to their fighter speeder. :D

This was a first for me. I had never seen a Magnolia Seed Pod before. (Community Exhibition Garden)
7DWF Wednesday: Macro or closeup
Milkweeds produce their seeds in pods, called follicles. The seeds have white hairs known as pappus, silk, or floss. The follicles ripen and split open, and the seeds, each carried by the pappi, are blown by the wind. I was lucky to get the shot just as the pod burst and sent the seeds flying.
