The Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) is a marine mammal found in warm and temperate seas worldwide. Known for its distinctive hourglass pattern on the sides, it typically has a slender body and a long beak. These dolphins are highly social animals, often seen in large groups, and are known for their acrobatic displays, such as leaping and riding waves. Common dolphins primarily feed on small fish and squid, using echolocation to locate their prey. They are also known for their intelligence and playful behavior, often interacting with boats and other marine life. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their habitats from threats like pollution and fishing practices.
