Short-beaked Common Dolphin

Where do I live?

Europe

Who am I?

Always of a playful nature, I never miss an occasion to race your boats along the coasts, where I like to swim! You can tell me from other dolphins by the patterns on my beak and the dark colour of my body, grey-blue with whiter areas on my sides. Like all dolphins, I am a mammal and breathe air at the surface. I travel in groups of several dozens of individuals. Indeed one of my best hunting techniques involves surrounding shoals of sardines with my family, and force them to come up to the surface by blowing bubbles underneath them. Once there they become easy targets and a feast for a king! 

My hyper-developed sonar allows me to locate and talk to members of my group, but also makes me sensitive to the noise of your boats, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. My biggest worry remains the bad techniques some of your fishermen practice: I can drown when caught in fishing nets! 

To help me, ask your parents to make sure all the fish they buy is caught from companies who respect the ocean!
