Notes on the live stranding of a rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis) on the coast of Yucatan, Mexico

Resumen

In March 1999, we were made aware of the presence of a live stranding. A male rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis) was found on the northwest part of the Yucatan Península near the town of Celestún. The original information given to us by telephone was of "a big dolphin around 200 kg weight of dark color", misidentifiedas Stenella species.
