Common Dolphin

Common dolphins have a very distinctive yellowish hourglass pattern on their sides, which makes them easy to identify. Their back and upper flanks are black or brownish black, their chest and belly are a creamy–white colour with tan and yellow patches on the sides. Their fluke's, flippers and dorsal fins are dark and their beak is long and slim.

There are black stripes from the flipper to middle of the lower jaw and from the eye to the base of the beak.
