Solitary and semi-nomadic, they build nightly sleeping nests in trees and forage for fruit, leaves, and invertebrates. Critically Endangered, with populations having declined by over 50% in the past 60 years due to deforestation from palm oil expansion and illegal hunting.

Delfin Kabir

The most studied and recognized dolphin species, bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate oceans worldwide, from coastal shallows to the open sea.
