Abstract
Tursiops truncatus (bottlenose dolphin) is the best known of all marine mammals, being widely distributed in almost all the oceans in the world. In some regions, two distinctive forms, offshore and inshore, are recognized, with variations in color, size, and genotype of the animals (Hoelzel et al. 1998).
