A short-beaked common dolphin adult (with a faded pigmentation possibly related to striped dolphin genes) accompained by a newborn calf (also of somewhat intermediate pigmentation). This baby dolphin was slim and tiny, but also lively and energetic. Note its disproportionally large dorsal and pectoral fins.
The couple was photographed last August, when we observed a high number of births.
