English term or phrase: forehead melon
Iata contextul:
"The majority of delphinids have a forehead melon, although this is indistinct in some species, for example the tucuxi, and entirely absent in Cephalorhynchus species; the melon is pronounced and rounded to form an indistinct beak in Risso's dolphin and the two species of pilot whales, and tapered to form a blunt snout in killer and false killer whales."

melon
Explanation:
In partea superioara a capului, delfinii prezinta un tesut gras denumit melon care amortizeaza lovirea capului pe suprafata apei in momentul salturilor.

Dacă starea de conservare a delfinului o permite, se iau probe din fiecare organ (plămâni, inimă, rinichi, ficat, muşchi, tract digestiv, organe genitale). În caz contrar se va preleva ţesut adipos (melon) din zona eventului.
