Multi-species, multi-age group



Female Risso's dolphin "Yaya", the only member of her species living in the Gulf of Corinth, is always found in mixed groups with striped and (sometimes) short-beaked common dolphins.

Here Yaya swims in the company of two striped dolphins with their calves (one calf swims under the mother to the left), and one short-beaked common dolphin with her calf.
