The weaning process for Bottlenose Dolphin calves is gradual and can last anywhere from 18 months to several years, depending on environmental conditions and individual circumstances. During this period, mothers gradually reduce their milk production while encouraging their calves to transition to solid food sources, such as fish and squid. Mothers may demonstrate feeding techniques to their calves, such as corralling and herding fish, to teach them effective hunting strategies. As the calf becomes more proficient at foraging independently, it relies less on maternal milk and begins to integrate fully into the feeding behaviors of the pod.
