Dolphin or dolphin?

Some species of animals and plants have more than one popular name, which varies from one region to another! In Rio Grande do Sul, the animal of the species Tursiops truncatus, for example, is called dolphin, but in other parts of Brazil it is known as dolphin or cauldron. Other times, however, the opposite occurs: different species, but similar, receive the same popular name. That's why scientific names are important! As each species receives a unique and different scientific name, valid all over the world, regardless of language and local customs, this avoids confusion among scientists.
