🐬Common bottlenose dolphin
El delfín mular, delfín nariz de botella o delfín de hocico de botella (Tursiops truncatus) es una especie de cetáceo odontoceto de la familia Delphinidae. De las más de 30 especies de delfines que existen, es la más común y más conocida de la familia. Ello se debe a que con frecuencia se tiene en cautiverio. En estado salvaje, estos delfines viven en grupos de hasta 10 o 12 individuos. Como otros delfines, se sirven de un sistema de ecolocalización para localizar su alimento y, a menudo, cooperan entre ellos para acorralar a sus presas. Frecuentemente surcan la estela dejada por los barcos. Habitan en los mares cálidos y templados de todo el mundo y pueden encontrarse en todos los océanos a excepción del Ártico y el Antártico.
