Northern Rightwhale Dolphin
Chris' Whale Watching Tours - Monterey Bay, CA
The Common dolphins
,
there here are 2 kinds, short and long beak. They tend to be
the most social with our tour boats. These dolphins are often very
very "friendly" or "touchy feely" amongst themselves allowing us
to even see frequent mating behaviors. They did not get their
names common because they are average by any means, they have
beautiful color patterns, and exciting behavior displays. They
have this name because they are one of the more commonly seen
dolphins in the worlds oceans.
Northern Rightwhale dolphins
are definitely the most sleek
and silky smooth looking dolphins as they rise up and out of the
water shooting like bullets because they do not have a dorsal fin
on their back. They are really elegant looking and when you see
them fly out of the water you are left with a feeling of awe.
Their color markings are shinny ebony black with a debonair white
streak going down their bellies and have a very pointed head.
