Bottlenose dolphin Behaviour - BEAK GENITAL PROPULSION

BEAK GENITAL PROPULSION - An animal invites a second animal to come up from below it and place the tip of its rostrum in its genital slit. The lower animal often turns partially on its side, sometimes supporting the horizontal flukes of the upper animal from its head to its outstreched pectoral flippers. In this position, the lower animal, its tail bent down slightly from the horizontal, propels the upper animal forward, only breaking from the pattern to rise for breaths of air. Sometimes it swims belly-up or dorsum-up during such propulsion.
