They have a stocky body, a small fin in relation to the size
of the body, conspicously small flippers. The dorsal fin and
beak are also insubstantial. The upper side is a grey-blue to
grey-brown. A dirty cream coloured line runs along the flanks from
the beak, above the eye, to the anus. There is a dark stripe
under this line. The belly and throat are usually white, sometimes
tinged pink. The lack of a prominent is a distinguishing characteristic
of the Dolphin. From a distance however it may be confused with the Striped
Dolphin which has a similar coloration and is found in the same areas of ocean.
