The short-beaked common dolphin, known scientifically as Delphinus delphis, is a fascinating marine mammal that can be found in various locations around the world. In Shetland, Scotland, UK, during January, one can witness the awe-inspiring sight of these dolphins leaping out of the water with grace and agility. Their playful nature is further showcased as they feed on Snipe fish. In Hebrides, Scotland, UK, a close-up shot captures a short-beaked common dolphin surfing at an incredible speed. The power and elegance displayed by these creatures are truly mesmerizing. Moving to Portugal in July, we observe a pair of common dolphins engaging in their intricate mating ritual amidst the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. Baja California, USA offers another breathtaking spectacle as short-beaked common dolphins leap over waves with boundless energy and enthusiasm. Their acrobatic displays never fail to leave spectators in awe. As they swim on the surface of the ocean elsewhere along Portugal's coast in September, their reflection creates a serene and captivating image. A lithograph from Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History showcases not only the short-beaked common dolphin but also other remarkable species such as hourglass dolphins and harbor porpoises. This illustration serves as a reminder of our diverse natural world. In Horta island within Azores' Atlantic Ocean waters or among Inner Hebrides' tranquil surroundings where breathing becomes essential for survival; we witness these intelligent creatures porpoising at high speeds to catch their breaths. Isle of Coll situated within Inner Hebrides provides yet another stunning scene where common dolphins leap out of sea waters with pure joy etched across their faces. Finally venturing to Cabo Pulmo in Mexico's Sea of Cortez reveals how these magnificent animals gracefully navigate through crystal-clear waters. The short-beaked common dolphin continues to captivate us with its beauty and charm wherever it may be found.
