Dolphins are known for their intelligence, agility, and playful behavior, but recent research has revealed something even more surprising. They show a preference for one side of their body, much like humans being right‑ or left‑handed.


This discovery adds a fascinating layer to our understanding of marine mammals and how they interact with their environment.
