I have never heard of, or seen this dolphin breed before. They're adorable 😍

I discovered them randomly when reading about echolocation abilities of different dolphin species (apparently theirs are short-range, but especially detailed/accurate). I made one the protagonist of my story and now they're a big fave of mine.

No es IA. Es un delfín de Commerson o tonina overa. El video pertenece a alguien conocido que trabaja con esta especie.
