Abstract
A study has been carried-out since 1987 by the Research National Council (C.N.R.) in Ancona in collaboration with Adriatic Sea World (A.S.W.) in Riccione, to find-out how a blind-folded free-swimming Tursiops truncatus (Montagu) uses echolocation clicks for detecting a target, approaching it and making contact with its rostrum.
