Abstract

The estuarine dolphin or tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis (Gervais & 
Deville, 1853)) is becoming the target of many behavioral and ecological 
studies. Nevertheless, an ethogram, a basic tool for more reliable research 
replication, is still missing. The present study aimed at contributing 
to a standardized partial ethogram for the behaviors of the estuarine 
dolphin. 
Behavioral patterns were recorded and compared to the available data in 
literature for S. fluviatilis and other species of dolphins. A total of 
eleven clear distinguishable patterns of behavior were carefully named 
and 
described. The ethogram obtained through this field and comparative

study is an attempt to clarify the terminologies for S. fluviatilis' 
activity, which is important for future behavioral studies.
