Much has been written about dolphins and whales, and excellent
books exist especially on the charismatic bottlenose dolphins; and
killer, humpback, and sperm whales. But detailed studies have been
carried out on a handful of other species, and this book summarizes
our state of knowledge of a little dolphin the southern hemisphere
dusky, and compares its behavioral strategies in different
environs. The editors, Bernd and Mel Wursig, began studying duskies
in Patagonia Argentina in 1972. Although they have been to many
parts of the Earth since then -- including work on Amazon and
Yangtze river dolphins, Hawai i for the delicate lovely spinner
dolphin, the Arctic for bowhead and gray whale work, and bottlenose
dolphins in several milieus -- they have always returned to their
first love of unraveling the social patterns and life strategies of
duskies that exist in small groups in semi-enclosed bays and as
herds of well over one thousand in the open ocean. This book
documents the latest research, from their feeding patterns to their
acrobatic skills. It is full of scientific facts, with a sense of
poetry and wonder of the unknown.

dolphin
- Heavily illustrated with charts, figures, tables, and all color
photos
