Costero

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Costero Sotalia is found in the coastal waters to the north and east of South America. The common name "costero" has been suggested by Caballero and colleagues due to the species' affinity for coastal habitats. The Costero is a member of the oceanic dolphin family. Physically it resembles the Bottlenose Dolphin. However, this species is sufficiently different from the Bottlenose Dolphin that it is given its own genus, Sotalia. It is also known as the Guyana dolphin.
