Three wild dolphins living in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Bermuda are surprising scientists in San Diego and a worldwide audience following the dolphins' daily swims and dives via the
Internet.
Named JD, Chip and Bermudiana by field biologists, the three wild dolphins were briefly caught, fitted with satellite tags and released two
weeks ago by researchers studying the offshore dolphin group. Their travels
are tracked by global geographic satellite relay technology and posted daily on the research Web site at http://www.dolphinquest.org. Time-depth recorders measure and report the dolphins' diving behavior.
