This week’s specimen is a short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis). We had lots of fun today learning about dolphin communication in Science Story Adventures. To learn more about short-beaked common dolphins, check out the following websites:

• ARKive: Short-beaked common dolphin
• Convention on Migratory Species: Delphinus delphis

Tough to tell from the picture, but I guess that’s the point.

And by the coloration of the specimen in the photo, I’d say it were a Common Dolphin of genus Delphinus. I’m not sure about species though. :/
