🐬Common bottlenose dolphin

Tursiops truncatus (Montagu, 1821)

Afalina (Tursiops truncatus), yunusgiller (Delphinidae) familyasından dünyanın bütün okyanuslarında yaygın olan bir yunus türü. "Flipper" adlı dizi ile meşhur olan bu yunus türü, zekası yüzünden Delfinaryumlarda en çok tutulan ve eğitilen yunus türüdür. Bu yüzden dünyada "yunus" dendiği zaman insanların aklına ilk olarak bu türün görüntüsü gelir. Oysa Yunus famiyasının örnek türü tırtak'tır (Delphinus delphis)
