Duration: 30 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session
Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) can be found in all temperate and tropical waters around the world. They evolve in a wide variety of habitats, from the open ocean to the estuaries of certain regions, and adapt their lifestyle and hunting techniques accordingly.
In the estuaries of South Carolina, USA, some individuals have developed a cooperative method of trapping and catching fish along the banks of salt marshes.
