The common bottlenose dolphin is one of the most commonly observed dolphins in coastal waters throughout the world. It also maintains large populations offshore, but is not as common as other open water dolphins, such as the short-beaked common dolphin and others.

At one point on the Baja trip we were surrounded by a superpod of Long-beaked Common Dolphins (Delphinus capensis). We estimated about 3000 individuals that made the sea effervesce as far as they eye could see in all directions. When I looked down there were dozens of them riding the bow and they remained with us for at least half an hour. Most were just rising out of the water en masse but a few individuals leapt clear of the water, like this one at the front.
We have Common Dolphins in British waters but this is a different species; Delphinus delphis that has a shorter beak and a kinder looking face. Long-beaked Common Dolphins are only found in warmer waters around the tropics. But both species have the hourglass markings on the flanks.

The common dolphin is the name given to two species (and possibly a third) of dolphin making up the genus Delphinus.
Prior to the mid-1990s, most taxonomists only recognised one species in this genus, the common dolphin Delphinus delphis. Modern cetologists usually recognise two species — the short-beaked common dolphin, which retains the systematic name Delphinus delphis, and the long-beaked common dolphin Delphinus capensis.
The common dolphin is not the dolphin of popular imagination despite its name; that distinction belongs to the bottlenose dolphin due to its widespread use in marine parks and its appearance in the television series Flipper.However, this dolphin was the most frequently represented in the art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
The dolphin gull is native to southern Chile and Argentina, and the Falkland Islands, I found it in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in Argentina.

Had an amazing experience encountering a superpod of thousands of Northern Right Whale Dolphins and Pacific White-Sided Dolphins grouped together in Monterey Bay, CA.
A successful whale watching trip from Kaikoura ended with an exciting performance by the Dusky Dolphins.
Olha só o tamanho desse bichão!!!
It feels amazing to feel the dolphin's contact on the skin!
This handsome is the Pink Giant!
The dolphins live loose in the river, there is nothing that holds them, nor do they go through training; they are conditioned by the caretaker, to go to the platform to feed, end up getting used to the place and the people. Many are known by names.

Na classificação dos biólogos, não há nenhuma diferença entre botos e golfinhos é só uma questão de nomenclatura regional. O termo boto ganhou força no Brasil para nomear o pequeno cetáceo encontrado nos rios da Amazônia. A partir daí, passou a ser ensinado em escolas que boto era de água doce e golfinho, de água salgada

This was a blast! I must say it was a challenge to capture these dolphins...The trip was almost over before I got a shot..

Thanks everyone for the views, comments, and favs or Thanks for just stopping by!
doing some whale watching the other day and came across a small pod of dolphins. They came around the boat and even seemed to enjoy racing along the side of it. These two seemed to stay close.
I've been experimenting with using a longer lens with the dolphins. Absolutely useless for action shots, but great for slower-paced stuff and detail shots.
This dolphin came up and had a look what i was doing, then it swam back to its mate in the Mandurah estuary.
Whilst working the Sea Safari boat out of Teignmouth this morning we chanced upon a small pod of Short Beaked Common Dolphins. On seeing us they started slow swimming and spy hoping. Spy hoping is when the dolphin comes out of the water and holds itself briefly to see whats around. Luckily i had my camera to hand to bag a few profile shots. The scratches on her flank are from the teeth of other dolphins.
