The Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) is a lively and social marine mammal known for its striking colour pattern, with a yellowish-tan patch on its sides and a streamlined, torpedo-shaped body. Found in both tropical and temperate waters around the world, common dolphins are highly active, often leaping and riding waves alongside boats. They are known to form large, dynamic groups called pods, sometimes numbering in the thousands, and communicate using clicks, whistles, and body movements. As fast swimmers and skilled hunters, common dolphins primarily feed on fish and squid, playing an essential role in maintaining oceanic balance. Their energy and curiosity make them a captivating presence in the marine environment.
