The Bottlenose
Dolphin is gray, varying from dark gray at the top
near the dorsal fin to very light gray and almost
white at the underside. Its elongated upper and lower
jaws form a rostrum, or beak-like snout, which gives
it its common name, the Bottlenose dolphin. The functional
nose is the blowhole on top of its head. Tursiops
truncates has a dark line from the beak to the blow
hole. Tursiops aduncus has a white belly with grey
spots. Tursiops truncatus gillii has a black line
from the eye to the forehead. Tursiops
trucatus ponticus lives in the Black Sea.
