Dolphin

The Dolphin is a mammal species featured in Grand Theft Auto VI's recreation of the state of Leonida. It is identified in community catalogues as the Bottlenose Dolphin. The in-game animal is modelled on the real-world Tursiops truncatus.

In game, the Dolphin is typically encountered in open ocean environments, fitting the species' real-world range across South Florida.

The Dolphin has been visually confirmed in official Rockstar trailer footage or screenshots, placing it among the higher-confidence entries on the GTA VI wildlife list.

The Dolphin has been documented in the official Rockstar trailer cuts and screenshots released so far, and it now has confirmed Extended Look footage as well.

In the Extended Look’s activities montage, Jason and Lucia relax in the Leonida Keys and Jason backflips off a jetty into the water while a pod of dolphins leaps in the distance behind him. Viewers going through the footage frame by frame noticed that one of the dolphins performs a corkscrew as it jumps, a small animation flourish that drew comment. Dolphins also appear in the background of the closing shot of Cal, Jason and Lucia together.

Real-world basis according to community analysis: Tursiops truncatus.

From domestic pets to apex predators, mammals anchor much of the wildlife players interact with. The Dolphin fits naturally into Leonida's ecosystem.
