The Dolphin Trail

 
 

Evolution in the waters of our planet have led to the successful survival of the dolphins. They are the most evolved of the whale families, and their trail leads us to the oceans. This is a true story about the physical anatomy, communication, creativity, and evolution of Cetaceans. The Dolphin Trail is the evolutionary path that the land-based ancestors of dolphins and whales took to evolve back into the ocean.
