Dolphins are a loose grouping of different aquatic mammals that live all over the world. In Florida, the most common dolphin is the bottlenose dolphin. The iconic grey dolphin that Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC made famous. For many years, Americans were used to see dolphins perform tricks for fish at various marine attractions around the country.
