Dolphins are a loosely connected group of aquatic mammals which live around the world. The most common dolphin found in Florida is called the bottlenose. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC has made the grey dolphin famous. Americans have known for many years that dolphins can perform tricks on fish at several marine attractions in the United States. Since then, more protections have been placed around wild dolphins.
