Dear Niki,

Bottlenose whales are usually about 7-9 meters long. Males are usually
larger than females, and newborns are about 3 meters long in length.  The
species is slow to mature and long-lived. They are probably deep and
prolonged divers and eat pelagic fish and squid.  It seems that many whales
of different age and sex travel together. 

Cheers, Leah
