Delphis, a fascinating group of marine mammals, encompasses various species such as the hourglass dolphin (Lagenorhynchus cruciger), harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), and short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis). These captivating creatures have been captured in stunning lithographs by Karl Joseph Brodtmann for Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals. Among the Delphis family, the narwhal and dolphins share an intriguing connection. The hourglass dolphin, harbour porpoise, and short-beaked common dolphin are all part of this diverse clan. Each species possesses unique characteristics that make them truly remarkable. The short-beaked common dolphin, scientifically known as Delphinus delphis, is particularly enchanting. Found along the Mexico Coast, these dolphins can be seen gracefully leaping from the deep blue sea. Picture No. 11674933 captures their beauty perfectly.
