Second largest EQ after humans? Not so
The statement "Bottlenose dolphins have the second largest encephalization levels of any mammal on Earth (humans have the largest)" is simply untrue if we look to the reference cited [9]. Tursiops truncatus is given EQ of 4.14 - there are 3 other dolphins with higher EQs: Delphinus delphis 4.26, Lagenorhybchus obliquidens 4.55 and Sotalia fluviatilis 4.56.

Embarrassment
If we want to protect the article from editing because it's so vital and colossally sacrosanct, could we at least make sure the text is SPELLED correctly? I am unfamiliar with, e.g., the word ECHOS, though I have heard of ECHOES. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:4B00:7AB:38D9:750B:4B20:AF3A (talk) 11:13, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
New species proposed
A new Tursiops species has been proposed in the coastal United States which was previously grouped under Tursiops truncatus. The new name proposed is Tursiops erebennus (from a resurrected synonymy Delphinus erebennus, Cope 1865) common name proposed is Tamanend's bottlenose dolphin. Here is the paper: https://academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/zoolinnean/zlac025/6585199 and here is a press release: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/bottlenose-dolphins-along-east-coast-proposed-be-different-species. Potentially should be added here? As well as get a species page? Xarzin (talk) 16:30, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
Confusing Data in "Threats" Section
Slightly confused - the lead of this section claims (uncited) that millions of dolphins die in fishing nets. Is there any source I missed in the article that can verify this claim? A quick google places estimates of the current dolphin population across ~40 species to be in the several hundred thousand, not anywhere close to the number that would be necessary to reach millions of dolphins killed by nets. If this is not accurate, can someone remove it? Thank you! 216.243.30.3 (talk) 21:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- I have changed the sentence to fit better with the information in the reference. Axl ¤ [Talk] 22:47, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
