ETP cetaceans
Bottlenose Dolphin Tursiops truncatus
(right) is sometimes found with tuna,
but more often on its own. These offshore populations differ genetically
from the inshore populations (to which the famous "Flipper" belonged),
but both groups indulge in dramatic leaps and flips from time to time.
Mammal people never called them "bottlenosed dolphin;" they always called
them "
Tursiops
" (even if the same people used common names for other
species).
