What Colors Are Dolphins?

Gray. Pink. Blue. Black and white.

Now, few words about each of them. We will discuss with pictures most of them.

Black and white is the commerson dolphin. Its’ head is black, with a white throat and body. Its’ dorsal fin is also black.

Gray is the best known dolphin: the bottlenose. The shade of grey might vary among populations; it can be bluish-grey, brownish-grey, or even nearly black, and is often darker grey on the back.

An unusual collor pattern gas the common dolphin. It’s a combination dark gray (the back), yellow or gold (in front(, dirty grey (back), light grey (on each side) in a hourglass pattern.

But the one which is probably the most amazing is the pink dolphin, who lives in the Amazon river.
