This may be the beginning of a dolphin binge. Looking through my dolphin footage from this year I dug up this playful pod of Risso's and Whitesides. I took these videos in May and I still remember the day very well. This was one of the best encounters with a mixed pod that I've ever had. I recall saying "Check out the Risso's chasing the Whitesides over there!" A passenger then asked how I tell them apart. Always being a professional and a very serious person I said "They look different." 😂 #Fa

How To Draw Risso's Dolphin Step by Step

Meet the Risso’s Dolphin🐬🌎 Found in temperate and tropical waters worldwide, they are easily distinguished from other dolphins by their heavily scarred bodies. These scars are a result of the dolphins’ rough social behavior, as well as their encounters with prey such as squid and octopuses. Similar to a human’s fingerprints, each Risso’s dolphin’s scars are unique making them easy to identify and track helping scientists to learn more about their behavior and social structure.•••🎥 @remi_demar
