Bottlenose dolphin
Bottlenose dolphins
, the genus
Tursiops
, are the most common and well-known members of the family
Delphinidae
, the family of oceanic
dolphin
. Recent
molecular studies
show the genus contains two
species
, the
common bottlenose dolphin
(
Tursiops truncatus
) and the
Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin
(
Tursiops aduncus
), instead of one. Research in 2011 revealed a third species, the
Burrunan dolphin
(
Tursiops australis
). Bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and
temperate
seas worldwide.
