      \"DolphinMany marine mammal species call the Gulf of Mexico home, but the most ubiquitous is the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus<\/em>). We acquired multiple\u00a0intestinal tracts collected from dead stranded bottlenose dolphins by the Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network<\/a>\u00a0in Galveston, Texas, and are currently investigating their parasites.\u00a0IF YOU EVER FIND A BEACHED MARINE MAMMAL\u00a0IN TEXAS, PLEASE CALL 1-800-9-MAMMAL OR 1-800-862-6625 TO REPORT IT<\/strong> TO THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES!<\/p>\n
