Bottlenose confusion
Regular readers of this blog may be a little confused. To clarify: bottlenose dolphins are only distantly related to bottlenose whales (such as this fellah). While both are of course cetaceans, the former are members of the delphinidae family, while the latter are ziphidae.
Frankly, I don’t know why they aren’t called false bottlenose dolphins.
