A espécie de golfinho mais estudada e reconhecida, os roazes habitam oceanos quentes e temperados de todo o mundo, desde águas costeiras rasas até ao mar aberto. Altamente inteligentes com grandes cérebros em relação ao tamanho corporal, demonstram auto-reconhecimento, comunicação complexa e aprendizagem social. Vivem em sociedades fluidas de fissão-fusão e cooperam para arrebanhar peixes. Uma espécie indicadora chave da saúde dos ecossistemas marinhos.
