The Mediterranean Sea is bordered by 21 countries. Over 17,000 species make their home by the sea. Bottlenose dolphins are the kind you find on TV and in aquarium water parks. They have dark gray bodies, pale bellies, and short beaks. They always seem to be smiling. These are the most intelligent and sociable animals on Earth.
