Description
Friendly and energetic, the short-beaked common dolphin is a familiar species often seen frolicking in the waves close to shore. They prefer the warm water there, rather than the cold open ocean. Its distinctive color pattern and banding make it easy to identify. A close relative of the long-beaked dolphin, the two differ in size and choice of habitat.
