4 Fun Facts About Dolphins Before Your Dolphin Cruise

Dolphins are loved throughout the country for their playful dispositions, their athletic flips, and their famed intelligence.

If you’re planning a trip to Destin with kids, a dolphin cruise is a sure way to delight the whole family, but it can be enjoyed in a group of adults as well, or even going solo.

You’ll learn plenty of facts about dolphins on your cruise, but there’s always more to learn.

These fun facts about dolphins will help your kids or your group feel excited to see them up close and in person when you take your trip to Destin.

## **Famously Intelligent:**

Dolphins are *well-known* as one of the most intelligent *non-human* animals, and biologists constantly test their intelligence to learn more and more about them. In several studies, it’s been revealed that dolphins are not only able to learn new information but to pass it on to other dolphins — to teach them, essentially.

They start their own games and even form teams with other animals.

They even communicate with each other through clicking and whistling noises and have been shown to have a sense of humor.

## **The Killer Whale is a Dolphin:**

Ever seen Shamu at SeaWorld or seen TV programs refer to a “killer whale”? The orca — a black and white “whale” reaching sizes of up to 12,000 pounds — isn’t well-known in Destin, and you probably won’t see one in your dolphin cruise.

Nevertheless, it is technically a species of dolphin, or porpoise as they’re sometimes called.

All species of dolphins are aquatic mammals who breathe through a blowhole on top of their heads. In fact, dolphins are said to use 90% of their lung capacity compared to the 15% that humans use.

Whales, on the other hand, are a type of fish.

The most common type of dolphin is the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, and it’s this kind of dolphin you’ll be most likely to see on your cruise.

## **The Cows of the Sea:**

Dolphins might not seem to have anything in common with livestock, but if you spend enough time around dolphins, you may hear an expert call one a “cow” or a “bull.”

In the world of dolphins, female dolphins are referred to as cows and male dolphins are called bulls.

Baby dolphins are even called calves, just like cattle.

## **Natural Athlete:**

Dolphins are loved for their acrobatic leaps and flips as they swim alongside ships, leading to the joy of a dolphin cruise.

They’ve been shown to do this for fun, and even for attention, flipping higher when they notice that people are watching them.

Some species of dolphins, such as spinners and spotted dolphins, can jump as high as 15 feet in the air.

It’s no wonder that people travel from all over the country to take a dolphin cruise and see these quirky, intelligent guys up close.

Dolphin Dock Anatomy

**Body –** Dolphins have a highly streamlined body to allow hydrodynamic efficiency.

**Skin –** Skin colouration is dark grey on the back a lighter grey on the flanks and white bellies.

This colouring pattern is known as counter shading a type of camouflage.

The dark back allows them to blend in with the ocean depths and the light belly blends in with the sunlit surface waters.

**Brain** – The Bottlenose Dolphin brain mass is slightly bigger than a human brain.

Dolphins are highly intelligent they have shown that they are self aware, have shown language comprehension abilities, the ability to use tools and cultural behaviour.

**Rostrum/beak –** The rostrum is the dolphin`s jaw.

**Teeth –** Bottlenose dolphins have between about 80 to 100 cone shaped teeth.

Dolphins do not generally chew their food.

They use their teeth to grasp their catch but usually swallow their prey whole.

**Melon –** The melon is used for vocalisation and echolocation.

**Ear –** Dolphins have very sophisticated hearing and are able to hear a much larger range of frequencies than humans.

**Eyes –** Dolphins are not able to look up or down.

Often when a dolphin is bow riding or looking up at you it will turn over on its side enabling them to see you.

**Blowhole –** Dolphins breathe through a blowhole which is on top of their head.

The dolphin`s trachea extends from their blowhole down into their lungs.

They are therefore not able to breathe through their mouth.

The blowhole is covered by a muscular flap providing a water tight seal when they dive below the surface.

**Dorsal Fin –** The dorsal fin is made of dense fibrous connective tissue.

The shape of the dorsal fin can be quite variable between different individuals.

The dorsal fin is prone to nicks and cuts and is the main use of identification.

**Tail stock/Keel –** Longitudinal muscles that run down the tail stock move the flukes up and down to propel them through the water.

**Fluke –** The tail fluke is used to propel themselves through the water.

**Flipper/Pectoral Fins –** The pectoral fins are used to steer and control their directions.

They can also be used to help slow down and control their speed.

**Genitals:**

* Males have two slits.
* Females have one genital slit and two smaller mammary slits positioned on either side of the genital slit.

Playful, rutting dolphin leads French mayor to close beaches to protect swimmers

## A French mayor closes beaches to keep a rutting dolphin away from swimmers.

PARIS -- A playful, rutting dolphin has led a mayor in northwest France to close beaches out of concern of a potential risk to swimmers.

For weeks, the dolphin known to locals as Zafar has been staying along the shores of Brittany, playing with children and swimmers, according to local newspaper Le Télegramme.

But the mayor of Landévennec, Roger Lars, said the male dolphin is rutting, behavior related to its being mating season.

Some people who have interacted with the dolphin got scared, the mayor said.

“There has been a few incidents,” Lars told French radio RTL.

“A woman swimming quietly was thrown by the animal.

There really was a security issue.”

Due to this concern the mayor last week banned swimming on beaches where the dolphin's presence is confirmed, he told RTL radio.

The mayor does not believe that Zafar is mean, but argues that an incident could have happened.

A local lawyer who specializes in environmental rights, Erwan Le Cornec, does not agree with the halt and threatens to take legal action against the ban.

“How many accidents have there been with a dolphin in Brittany since our two species existed?

None,” he told French local newspaper Ouest-France.

IT’S TIME TO GIVE BACK TO DOLPHINS

Last week, Maya passed away.

She was one of seven captive dolphins at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland.

Maya was the third eldest of their dolphin population.

She was born at the facility on May 13, 2001.

Her father, Nalu was captured in the Gulf of Mexico off Texas on July 30, 1975.

Shiloh, her mother was captured in the Gulf of Mexico off Mississippi on October 27, 1982.

Both her parents are dead (Nalu died from acute viral *broncho-interstitial* pneumonia on September 23, 2002.

Shiloh was euthanized due to iron storage disease on September 26, 2010).

According to the aquarium’s website, Maya began suffering from a loss of appetite in March of this year.

By *mid-Apri*l, her health had deteriorated further until she was unable to breathe properly or hold any food down.

The decision was made to euthanize Maya on July 7.

A necropsy is pending.

T*he one thing Maya never got to do was behave as a wild dolphin would, and live as a wild dolphin should.*

No doubt, Maya is missed by aquarium staff and visitors alike.

For 18 years, she formed a part of the facility’s performing dolphins.

But the one thing Maya deserved the most she never got to experience: living life as a wild dolphin, free to roam the open waters.

It was her birthright to be wild and free, not confined to a tank and forced to entertain.

*A (new) future for performing dolphins.*

Back in June 2016, Dolphin Project reported that the National Aquarium had announced plans to build a natural seawater sanctuary for their Atlantic *bottle-nose* dolphins.

At the time, eight dolphins were in their care, however with the death of Nani (2017) and now, Maya (2019) six dolphins remain:

Jade, Spirit, Bayley and Chesapeake (female) and Beau and Foster (male).

As it’s been three years since the facility’s initial announcement, we were curious what the status of the sanctuary was.

Dolphin Project reached out to the National Aquarium to inquire about the status of their sanctuary.

Here is the response we received:

We thank the National Aquarium for their response, and commend them on their commitment to build a sanctuary for their performing dolphins.

Sadly, while Maya won’t be able to benefit from this undertaking, her tank mates will.

This is the future.

Captivity is the past.

We can only hope that the National Aquarium’s plans will be realised, and they will lead the way for other aquariums and marine parks to offer similar strategies for their captive dolphins.

**Behaviour:** These highly active surface dolphins often breach out of the water.

They usually will jump out of the water and be very active while they are feeding.

This fast, energetic swimmer will swim using long, and shallow leaps.

Atlantic spotted dolphins love to bow-ride and will swim far distances to catch up to a vessel.

There have been cases where this species will mix with the bottlenose dolphin.

This dolphin’s social structure seems to be highly complex.

It is believed to include recognizing of individuals and bonding.

**Habitat:** Offshore and inshore waters.

**Other interesting facts:**

Some of these dolphins are remarkably friendly and investigative.

They will usually approach swimmers and divers, often within touching distance.

When spotted dolphins are born, they are born without spots.

After they mature they get their spots.

They will usually swim along with spinner dolphins.

These dolphins are rigorous swimmers and frequently hurl themselves high into the air.

BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN Tursiops truncatus

**GENERAL DESCRIPTION:**

The Atlantic bottlenose dolphins are small cetaceans that have a long, beaklike snout, a falcate (sickle-shaped) dorsal fin, and sharp teeth.

They are ***Odontoceti*** (toothed whales) and have one blowhole.

These dolphins live in small groups called pods.

**SIZE:**

The bottlenose dolphin grows to be at most 12 feet (3.7 m) long, sometimes weighing more than 1,400 pounds (635 kg).

Most are smaller than this.

**SHAPE AND FINS:**

 Bottlenose Dolphins have stream-lined bodies and a rounded head with a distinctive beak.

They have a tall, falcate (sickle-shaped) dorsal fin and broad, slightly pointed flippers.

**DIET AND TEETH:**

Bottlenose dolphins are hunters that fish mostly at the surface of the water, eating mostly fish and squid.

​They have many pairs of sharp, pointed teeth distributed in both the upper and lower jaws.

**PREDATORS OF DOLPHINS:**

Some sharks (including tiger sharks, dusky sharks and bull sharks) and orcas will prey upon dolphins.

Dolphins are also often trapped in people's fishing nets.

**SOCIAL GROUPS:**

Bottlenose dolphins live in small pods of up to 12 whales; they are very social animals.

Often, many pods group together to form congregations of hundreds of dolphins.

**DIVING, JUMPING, AND BOW RIDING:**

Dolphins can dive down to more than 1,000 feet (300 m) and can jump up to 20 feet (6 m) out of the water.

A bow rider is a dolphin that hitches a rides in the bow wave in front of a ship.

The dolphin surfs using the pressure created in front of a moving ship.

**SPOUTING - BREATHING:**

Dolphins breathe air at the surface of the water through a single blowhole located near the top of the head.

They need to breathe about every 2 minutes, but can hold their breath for several minutes.

Their blow is a single, explosive cloud.

**SPEED:**

Dolphins are very fast swimmers.

**HABITAT AND RANGE:**

Bottlenose dolphins live near the coast and inshore waters from northern Cape Hatteras to southern Florida and westward through the Gulf of Mexico.

Another population lives near the continental shelf off New Jersey. Bottlenose dolphins live in different areas during the different parts of their life cycle, for example, breeding and giving birth.

**LIFE SPAN:**

Bottlenose dolphins have a maximum life span of about 25 years.

**POPULATION COUNT:**

Bottlenose dolphins are in no danger as their numbers are abundant.

Senses

## **WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 2010.**

Most dolphins have acute eyesight, both in and out of the water, and they can hear frequencies ten times or more above the upper limit of adult human hearing.

Though they have a small ear opening on each side of their head, it is believed that hearing underwater is also if not exclusively done with the lower jaw, which conducts sound to the middle ear via a fat-filled cavity in the lower jaw bone.

Hearing is also used for echolocation, which all dolphins have.

It is believed that dolphin teeth function as an antenna to receive incoming sound and to pinpoint the exact location of an object.

The dolphin's sense of touch is also well-developed, with free nerve endings densely packed in the skin, especially around the snout, pectoral fins and genital area.

However, dolphins lack an olfactory nerve and lobes and thus are believed to have no sense of smell.

They do have a sense of taste and show preferences for certain kinds of fish.

Since dolphins spend most of their time below the surface, tasting the water could function like smelling, in that substances in the water can signal the presence of objects that are not in the dolphin’s mouth.

Though most dolphins do not have hair, they do have hair follicles that may perform some sensory function.

The small hairs on the rostrum of the Boto river dolphin are believed to function as a tactile sense possibly to compensate for the Boto's poor eyesight.

All Poetry I Love Dolphins

I’m swimming with dolphins.

In the warm morning sun.

Playing and laughing.

And having great fun.

In the water so clear.

It refreshes and cools.

So much marine life.

Fish swimming in schools.

There in the ocean.

They swim by my side.

Being carried along.

By the out flowing tide.

The dolphins are graceful.

Doing tail walks and flips.

Swimming out ahead.

In front of great ships.

I love the dolphins.

And whisper a prayer.

Lord watch over them.

In your loving care.

This Robotic Dolphin Could Mean the End of Dolphins in Captivity

It's no secret that the dolphins being held in aquariums are living in less than ideal conditions.

From the way they're captured, separated from their families, held in tiny tanks and made to perform for crowds every day, the ethical dilemmas about sea parks are worrying to say the least.

Addressing this problem, a special effects company created an innovative solution: A robot dolphin that swims and interacts with people, minus the animal cruelty.

In theory, the idea of a robotic dolphin doesn't sound very alluring.

But this dolphin shows just how far animatronics have come.

Melanie Langlotz and Li Wang had the idea of creating a robotic dolphin after visiting an aquarium.

But building something this technologically advanced wasn't easy, especially something that would have to operate in salt water.

Eventually Roger Holzberg and Walt Conti, who made robotic animals for Star Trek and Jurassic World, got involved.

They helped design 600 lb prototype that had a battery life of ten hours and could last in salt water for ten years.

Not only the outside of the dolphin was made to look real - everything from the skeletal structure to the muscular interactions with it, to the weight deposits were true of a real adolescent bottlenose dolphin.

In fact, the volunteers swimming with the prototype thought it was real until they were told that it was a robot.

 After the success of the prototype, the group are now attempting to mass-produce the robotic dolphins and add a functional blowhole.

They have already been approached by theme parks in China, where there are bans on wildlife trade.

This could mean the end of holding dolphins in captivity - but not the end of human interactions with dolphins.

These robotic dolphins allow people to swim, play and interact with something as realistic as a real life dolphin - but it also means this can be done while leaving dolphins where they belong: In the wild.

That sounds like a great use of technology to us.

Behaviour

## **WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 2010.**

​​​​Dolphins are often regarded as one of Earth's most intelligent animals, though it is hard to say just how intelligent.

Comparing species relative intelligence is complicated by differences in sensory apparatus, response modes, and nature of cognition.

Furthermore, the difficulty and expense of experimental work with large aquatic animals has so far prevented some tests and limited sample size and rigor in others.

Compared to many other species however, dolphin behaviour has been studied extensively, both in captivity and in the wild.

See cetacean intelligence for more details.

Bottle Nose Dolphin

**Common Name:** Bottle Nose Dolphin.

**Size:** 2-4m.

**Description:** The bottle nose dolphin has a rounded nose, described as bottle shaped, a smooth rounded melon.

The large dorsal fin is set half way along the body and is slightly hooked.

The dolphin's body consists of a series of grey tones with a white belly.

Adult dolphins weigh between 200-300 kilograms.

**Habitat:** The bottle nose dolphin resides in coastal waters and the ocean.

In some areas, populations of dolphins stay with sight of recognised landmarks, while others can be found far out in the sea and sometimes quite close to the continental shelf edge.

**Feeding and Diet:** The diet of a bottle nose dolphin usually consists of small fish, crustaceans and squid.

Although the choice of fish varies from pod to pod (a pod is a group of dolphin), they usually share a common appetite from the mullet, the tuna and mackerel and the drum and croaker families.

**Other Behaviours and Adaptations:** Dolphins use echolocation to locate prey and create a picture of their surroundings.

Working together using this tactic, dolphins can trap schools of fish or squid by rounding them up and diving into the middle of them to feed.

The bottle nosed dolphin's body is sleek and streamlined and can travel at speeds of 35 km/h.

A less well known, malicious behaviour which bottle nosed dolphins display is infanticide.

If a male is desperate to mate, they will kill the baby of another mother, not long after it has been born.

After killing the baby, the mother is immediately ready to mate again and the killer will mate with the mother.

**Conservation status:** The bottle nose dolphin is not endangered and their future is stable due to their abundance and adaptability.

Though bottle nose dolphins as a whole have a stable future, there are some that are in danger.

The population in Moray Firth, Scotland has a population of approximately 190 dolphins who are constantly under threat due to water pollution, harassment, traumatic injury (often due to rubbish) and a reduction in food availability.

Water pollution is thought to have been the cause of some mass die offs off the coast of the USA and the Gulf of Mexico.

Galapagos Bottle Nosed Dolphin Facts

**Name:** Galapagos bottlenose dolphin.

**Family:** *Delphinidae.*

**Scientific Name**: *Tursiops truncatus.*

**Length:** 2 to 4 meters (6 to 13 feet).

**Weight:** 150 to 650 kilograms (330 to 1430 pounds).

**Adult Length:** 1.

9 - 3.

9 m (6.

2 - 13 ft).

**Behaviour:** Highly active, capable of great speed and amazing acrobatics.

**Group Size:** Family groups of 1 - 25.

**Category:** Dolphins.

**Species:** Bottle-nosed dolphin - Common dolphin.

Dolphins are smaller than most whale species and possess streamlined bodies, usually with a prominent, centrally placed dorsal fin, and a protruding beak.

Their bodies have various patterns, colours and spotting which are often key to identification.

Dolphins are generally social, capable of great speed, breath taking acrobatics and bow-riding.

They prey on a great variety of fish, squid and other marine life.

Frequent inshore and offshore, often seen during a Galapagos cruise.

**Identification:**

Due to its popularity in aquaria and with the media, this is perhaps the most familiar of all the dolphins.

It is also one of the most distinctive.

Bottle-nosed dolphins are large, robust animals which move powerfully through the water.

Their size and plain grey colouration, paler below but with no distinct flank markings, set them apart from all but the rough-toothed dolphin.

However, the distinct bulging forehead and short, stubby beak distinguish it from rough-toothed.

Rescuers tend to pregnant dolphin during strandings

Jason Savio jsavio@capecodonline.com  |  Wicked Local.

WELLFLEET — The International Fund for Animal Welfare’s marine mammal rescue team was in for a surprise when it responded to its first Cape stranding of the year.

The Wellfeet harbormaster notified IFAW at 9am.

Jan, 13 that three to four animals were stranded in water behind the Wellfleet Town Pier.

***“Because that’s kind of a tricky area and at low tide there isn’t much water in that area, we geared up and headed out there to assess,”*** said Nicole Hunter, assistant necropsy coordinator at IFAW.

***“Unfortunately this happens pretty often.***

***Cape Cod is a global hot spot for dolphin strandings.”***

When the rescue team arrived, it found two dolphins swimming behind the pier and used an inflatable boat to herd them out to deeper water outside of Wellfleet Harbor.

Shortly after they got out of the water, team members were notified to report back because someone spotted another animal swimming even farther behind the pier in the outgoing tide up a creek, Hunter said.

That dolphin ended up stranding in reeds in a shallow area on the side of the creek.

***“At that point we decided to extract her from that area to do a good health assessment,”*** Hunter said.

The dolphin was taken to a nearby IFAW trailer that is outfitted to run a full examination on animals.

Because being stranded is a stressful event for animals, the IFAW team likes to give health assessments.

***“Also, if we were to turn around and release her right at that spot, she likely would've stranded again.”***

An ultrasound was performed on the dolphin, revealing that the team had rescued not just one dolphin out of the reeds, but two.

The dolphin was pregnant.

***“When we were doing our exam we speculated that she might be pregnant,”*** said Hunter, referring to the dolphin’s plump belly.

The team was unable to determine the calf's gender, and the dolphin was brought to Herring Cove in Provincetown for release, a location often uses because of its easy access to deep water.

***“We do see it occasionally,”*** Hunter said of the pregnant dolphin, ***“but it’s definitely pretty neat.”***

Hunter urges anyone who sees a stranded dolphin to keep a distance and call the IFAW hotline at 1-800-932-4329.

The **7.62×39mm** (aka **7.62 Keringrad** or formerly **.30 Ruthin Short**) round is a rimless bottlenecked intermediate cartridge of Ruthin origin that was designed during the expansion into Galisia. Due to the worldwide proliferation of the Ruthin M11 and AT-44 pattern rifles, as well as other Zapadoslav rifles, the cartridge is used by both militaries and civilians alike.

Shortly after the Cykoslevine Revolution, the AT-44 was designed, later becoming the world's most widespread military-pattern rifle. The cartridge remaines the Zapadoslav standard.
Judith Yorith

**Judith Yorith**(born Zelandinka Zlatankovacic) is the shortest of the group with golden-orange eyes and neck-length ginger colored hair with a small amount pulled into a side tail held by a ribbon, scrunchie, or bead accessories. Her layered, fluffy bangs frame her face. She normally wears her uniform, which is composed of a white button up with a dull gold blazer, brown buttons, and a brown gingham mini-skirt that matches her lapel and sleeve cuffs. She also wears a dark emerald ribbon on her collar, darker socks, and brown loafers. Her casual attire is a pale yellow turtleneck worn beneath a pastel orange puffed camisole that has dark green ribbon on the neck and sleeves, along with a light blue and white skirt, navy knee-socks, and brown slip-ons.

For dance practice she wears a slightly different outfit from the others. Hers being a yellow parka with orange detail, sleeve cuffs, and bottom, which have white lines on them. She also wears black bike shorts under a layered yellow mini-skirt with orange lines on the hips and a thick waistband, along with orange and white sneakers, and a pair of leg warmers.

As Ananas, her now curled hair turns golden-orange to match her eyes and her side-tail grows in length, held by an orange ribbon with a yellow heart on it. She gains matching dangle earrings and an orange choker. Her outfit is composed of a yellow dress with pale yellow fabric in the middle that has gold ribbon laced over it. The chest is pale yellow with orange stitching around the top to accent the lining on the wing-liked sleeves. On the side of the chest is a colorful four-leaf clover. The skirt is pleated with ruffled layers beneath it. Her Linkrun hangs around her waist, while on each wrist is a yellow puffed accessory. She wears golden-orange boots with a yellow toe and heel to accent the lining on the folded cuff, worn with a pair of burgundy tube socks.

### Personality

Judith is a calm and gentle Serbian girl with a quiet personality that stands out from the passionate Tabitha and social Brodie. While smart and the type to make sense of things going on, she is also the type to just go with the flow in times of doubt or concern. However, she is also quick-witted and nimble when focused. She is shy and very protective of those she cares for, and is also kind and would rather avoid disputes at all costs. She loves animals.

Deep down, she suffers from low self-esteem. While aware of her desire to improve, she is also reserved to the point of feeling embarrassed or worried over how she may look in front of others. But she appears to have grown more confident as the season goes on.

Крупное, покрытое прочным хитиновым панцирем шестиногое тело, снабженное парой клешней очень зловещего вида и длинный гибкий ядовитый хвост. Все это делает из гигантского скорпа эпохи постатомных войн противника, которого крайне трудно убить, не пострадав самому. Яд скорпов пустыни смертелен.

### Известные разновидности

  **Кровавый скорп** | Редкий, даже можно сказать вымирающий вид. Их малочисленность и вялость наложили отпечаток и на их способ охоты. Стая не торопясь окружает жертву, после чего скорпы приближаются и атакуют своими хвостами. Сильно развитые железы позволяют выстреливать ядовитой жидкостью на значительное расстояние. Специфика яда, которая попадает в рану такова, что помимо отравления у жертвы есть очень большие шансы подвергнуться зомбированию, а это в непосредственной близости от кровавых скорпов равнозначно смерти. Обладают частичным иммунитетом к некоторым видам пси-воздействия.

### Характеристики

Группа сталкеров, вернувшаяся с последней экспедиции по пустыне, знает, что поведать молодым ученикам. Ниже представлена таблица, кратко характеризующая особенности каждого скорпа:

Примечание: цифра 1 обозначает, что данный тип монстра имеет некоторое стандартное значение, цифра 2 - двукратное значение от стандартного, и т.д.

### Добыча из тел убитых мутантов

Опасные обитатели пустынь, скорпионы могут стать выгодным источником хвостов, которые можно использовать как оружие.

Scorp Tail

### Дополнительная информация

* Могут выделять облако яда и на значительном расстоянии от противника, заполняя отравой всю карту.
* Хвост скорпиона можно использовать как метательное оружие, создающее ядовитое облако. Попадающие в него персонажи получают сильное отравление. Хвосты отличаются размером (S, M, L, XL), чем больше хвост - тем сильнее его действие. Есть возможность из хвостов изготавливать отравляющие гранаты. Суть та же, но весят гораздо меньше.
Suzy Marks

**Suzy Marks**is the main protagonist of *Glitter Force Cosmic Chase*. Her alter ego is Glitter Star. She lives in Glory City.

She is voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent.

## Personality

Suzy is an imaginative and curious second-year student who loves constellations and space. She can be rather stubborn too, to where she will investigate anything that interests her thoroughly and acts on intuition.

She is also ecstatic and has a tendency to drag people into certain activities she deems as intriguing, unaware that her enthusiasm can be disrespectful to other's choice.

Ravenscraft

**Iulia Copescu**, also known as Ravenscraft and later Glitter Jade, is a reformed villain in *Glitter Force Joyfulness*.

She is voiced by Kathleen Barr.

## Personality

Ravenscraft starts out as a cold and isolated girl, with a sly nature who remained loyal only to Moebius. When she, as Iulia, meets Tabitha, Tabitha's nature and the "happiness" shown to her at first was seen as nothing, but over time she slowly began to open to the girls and eventually her heart began cracking piece by piece to them, but she remained stubborn and prideful. She refused to admit that she had a weakness and would throw a small fit before storming off when annoyed.

After switching sides, she seems to have lost most of her stubborn mind, and is typically sweet, reserved, and patient. But deep down she faced constant turmoil with others trying to lure her back by making her face her past-self, causing her to often express sadness and guilt. She is honestly naive to things of the world and lacked social skills, but with the girls help she is able to move on. She retained her wise nature and puts this to use in times of need.

Cat Sutherland

**Catherine "Cat" Sutherland**is a main character in *Glitter Force Cosmic Chase*.

She is voiced by Eden Espinosa.

## Personality

Cat is a third-year student who tries her best to be ladylike. She is from a family with a storied history; her father works in the government while her mother is a famous pianist. She, herself, holds national championship titles in piano, archery, flower arranging, and tea ceremonies seamlessly, and gets excellent grades in academics.

Owing to her father's high expectations, she originally forces herself to achieve perfection in different scopes of her talents, which causes her to get stressed out easily and becomes embarrassed with herself when she accidentally makes a small mistake. She can also get anxious fairly clearly in very tense situations. But with her friends' help, she begins to learn how to lower her own standards and cope with her own stress, as well as learning to enjoy the process of doing an activity (such as playing the piano) rather than merely focusing on the outcome.
Богомол

Довоенные книги описывают богомолов как небольших насекомых, питающихся в основном растениями и мелкими насекомыми. В результате удивительного влияния радиации богомолы превратились в существ страшных и весьма опасных.

   Их размеры и физические возможности сделали их серьезными противниками всему живому. В естественных условиях питаются вжиками, и не считаются опасными для человека, однако в периоды миграций, могут быть очень агрессивны. Опасны богомолы в ближнем бою, где способны пронзить противника мощными передними лапами, напоминающими лезвия. Злейшие враги вжиков, обычно нападают на одиноких путников в местах где водятся вжики. Особенно велик шанс встречи, если вы страдаете от биологического заражения.

### Добыча из тел убитых мутантов

Есть вероятность поднять с трупа богомола клешню, которое можно использовать как оружие.

Mantis Claw

### Дополнительная информация

* При наличии вжиков в бою - сперва поедает их, при этом за съеденного вжика происходит повышение уровня богомола (на 1 за каждый ход, в котором были съедены вжики).
* Если игрок заражен био-заражением - нападают большой стаей за куполом.
* При большой дистанции до цели - летит и может перелетать мелкие препятствия.

Sycamore

> “"Must all of this ends in tragedy?"”

——Sycamore, to Captain during battles against him

Sycamore appears to have a body of a young, healthy adult male. His hair is wavy and is tinted with the color gray. Eyes are the color of amazonite green, shining brightly in the dark. Sycamore's complexion are fairly light. If look closely, one can see markings of aurora lights around his wrists and neck.

Sycamore often spotted wearing a long robe, either in black with gold accent or in white with green accent. He is fond of trinkets and small, delicate jewelries, thus he often is seen wearing quite a few of them. In rare instances, his "halo" can be also be seen emitting a gentle light.

## Official Profile

Age: unknown

Height: 5'10 (178cm)

Race: Primal

Hobbies: singing lullabies, watching over sailors

Likes: coffee, wind chimes and trinkets, trees

Dislikes: violence and conflicts

Gentle gust of wind promises to protect the sailors in their journey, and pleasant breeze lulls the unrest to sleep. Beware of he, who will soon bring the storm to its wake amidst the wailing of those who are lost.

## Lore

### Background

Created for the purpose of guiding and directing the wind patterns. Sailors greatly depended on Sycamore so they could find ways around the skydoms and bodies of water around certain islands. Legend said that if you look up at the sky at the first crack of dawn, you can see a bright star shining above you. They will tell you that it is Sycamore himself watching and guiding you.

Not much use for the Astrals themselves, Sycamore was largely left alone and neglected. Even so, he does not seem to mind as he enjoyed the company of his younger twin, Cypress. The brothers are very close with each other as they spend their infinite time side by side. [In progress]

### The War

It is not known to what extend and how Sycamore helps in the war or if he has anything to do with it at all. However, his creator disappeared right after the war died down, presumably dead. Both the creator and the creation does not have a close relationship, as a consequence, Sycamore does not feel anything regarding the news of his creator's disappearance.

[About what happens with Cypress and the war here]

After the war has ended, Sycamore continues to fulfill his duty directing the winds. [In progress]

Social behavior

## **WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 2010.**

   ​​​​​Dolphins are social, living in pods of up to a dozen individuals.

In places with a high abundance of food, pods can merge temporarily, forming a superpod; such groupings may exceed 1,000 dolphins.

Individuals communicate using a variety of clicks, whistles and other vocalizations.

They make ultrasonic sounds for echolocation.

Membership in pods is not rigid; interchange is common.

However, dolphins can establish strong social bonds.

Dolphins will stay with injured or ill individuals, even helping them to breathe by bringing them to the surface if needed.

This altruism does not appear to be limited to their own species however.

The dolphin Moko in New Zealand has been observed guiding a female Pygmy Sperm Whale together with her calf out of shallow water where they had stranded several times.

They have also been seen protecting swimmers from sharks by swimming circles around the swimmers or charging the sharks to make them go away.

Dolphins also display culture, something long believed to be unique to humans (*and possibly other primate species)*.

In May 2005, a discovery in Australia found Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin (***Tursiops aduncus***) teaching their young to use tools.

They cover their snouts with sponges to protect them while foraging.

This knowledge is mostly transferred by mothers to daughters, unlike simian primates, where knowledge is generally passed on to both sexes.

Using sponges as mouth protection is a learned behavior.

Another learned behavior was discovered among river dolphins in Brazil, where some male dolphins use weeds and sticks as part of a sexual display.

Dolphins engage in acts of aggression towards each other.

The older a male dolphin is, the more likely his body is to be covered with bite scars.

Male dolphins engage in such acts of aggression apparently for the same reasons as humans: disputes between companions and competition for females.

Acts of aggression can become so intense that targeted dolphins sometimes go into exile as a result of losing a fight.

Male Bottlenose Dolphins have been known to engage in infanticide.

Dolphins have also been known to kill porpoises for reasons which are not fully understood, as porpoises generally do not share the same diet as dolphins and are therefore not competitors for food supplies.

Varsovia

The **Varsovian Republic** (Varsovian: Варсовская республика trl. Varsovskaya respublika) is a unitary republic that is the historic homeland of the Varsovian People, though some speculate they originated in western Volossiya. The Varsovians are the parent ethnicity of the Galisian Varsovians, who originated from colonists in the area. The capital is Varshava, from where the nation gets its name.
Misdelia Magpie

**Misdelia Magpie**is a character in *Glitter Force Cosmic Chase*. Her alter ego is Glitter Asteroid.

She is voiced by Idina Menzel.

## Personality

Misdelia is a serious sort of girl who is treated like an adult back at home. She has a strong sense of responsibility but sometimes makes mistakes. She has the skills for operating complicated tasks.

In episode 3, she comes across as a stubborn analyst who insists that analysis should be considered before taking action, which causes her to bicker with Suzy. But in the end, she is willing to set her different opinion aside and makes up with Suzy. Her stubbornness is once again demonstrated in episode 7, when she claims that she can repair her rocket singlehandedly, but backfires due to her clumsiness. In episode 25, however, she shows kindness towards by advising the latter not to jump to conclusions before trying something, which hints not only does she display goodwill but has also gradually grown out of her past stubborn attitude.

In 29, it is revealed that her responsibility is stemmed from how her family frequently points out her flaws rather than acknowledging her strengths, hence why she is desperate to prove herself as a responsible adult.
