Description: This image showcases a group of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) engaging in a playful and mesmerizing behavior known as "tail dancing." With their sleek, gray bodies gliding gracefully through crystal-clear waters, these social and intelligent marine mammals display a remarkable display of camaraderie and joy. 3.

This behavior is thought to serve multiple purposes, including communication, social bonding, and play. 5.
