Conservationists are hoping to learn about a group of bottlenose dolphins that make their home in Welsh waters – by studying their poo.
About 200 bottlenose dolphins are said to live in and around Cardigan Bay and, although they have been studied for several years, experts want to learn more about their relationships, breeding potential and movement patterns.
Analysis of samples will help them to understand what they have been feeding on and where and help build individual profiles for each dolphin.
They will also attempt to match the samples with photo identification records of the dolphins gathered on camera by members of the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales.
