Distribution:

The bottlenose dolphin inhabits warm and temperate seas worldwide, normally in coastal regions although it is possible to find them offshore. They can be found in all but the Arctic and the Antarctic Oceans. They support great variations in water temperature (10°C - 32°C), salinity (5 - 35‰), transparency (0 - 40m) and contamination.

En Argentina, bottlenose dolphins can be found from Buenos Aires province to the province of Chubut (middle Patagonia) with few registers of their presence more south in the province Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego.
