Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) Factoid: Dolphins are believed to be among the most intelligent animals on Earth. Status: Vulnerable. Population: The exact worldwide population of the bottlenose dolphin is not known. In the eastern tropical Pacific the population is estimated to be 243,500, while in the waters of Japan the population estimates are as low as 37,000. Threats: In 1990, a program to label tuna cans "Dolphin Safe" (certifying that no dolphins were encircled to catch tuna) began, reducing dolphin deaths in tuna nets by 97 percent. Pressure from foreign trading nations has weakened the standards of the current label. Write to Secretary William Daley, Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230, and let him know how you feel about actions that may harm dolphins. Survival: Bottlenose dolphins often live 30 to 50 years.
