La adaptación a la vida acuática ha orientado la evolución anatómica de los delfines. Es por ello que estos animales han debido adaptar su musculatura y esqueleto, hasta el punto incluso de perder estructuras, a una forma ahusada más hidrodinámica y desarrollar complejos sistemas de vascularización para poder mantener su temperatura corporal en el medio acuático. Por otro lado, el aparato respiratorio se ha adaptado también para mantener los grandes tiempos de inmersión y las altas presiones a las que son sometidos, e incluso han sido capaces de desarrollar un casi exclusivo sistema de ecolocalización altamente eficaz. Estas, entre muchas otras adaptaciones anatómicas, han conseguido que los delfines hayan podido sobrevivir en un medio tan hostil como el marino durante toda su existencia en el planeta.
Adaptation to aquatic life has guided the anatomical evolution of dolphins. In such a way and broadly speaking, these animals have had to adapt their musculature and skeleton, to the point of even losing structures, to a more hydrodynamic tapered shape and had developed complex vascularization systems to be able to maintain their body temperature in the aquatic environment. On the other hand, the respiratory system has also been adapted to maintain long immersion times and the high pressures to which they are subjected to. Also, they have even been able to develop an almost exclusive, highly effective echolocation system. These, among many other adaptations, have made it possible for dolphins to survive in an environment as hostile as the marine environment throughout their existence on the planet.
