Several pods of Common dolphin were seen off the coast of Dana Point, California while whale watching aboard @danawharf Did you know Common dolphin are toothed whales? The toothed whales are a group of cetaceans that includes dolphins, porpoises, and all other whales possessing teeth, such as the beaked whales and sperm whales. Seventy-three species of toothed whales are described. They are one of two living groups of cetaceans, the other being the baleen whales (Mysticeti), which have baleen instead of teeth. #canonr5 #canoneosr5 & #canonrf100500mm #danawharf #commondolphin #yesdanapoint #animalscoterie #oceanlife #danapoint #dolphin_project #alleverythingdolphin #abcla #shotoncanon #oceantint #commondolphin #danapoint_harbor #abcla #nature.cuties #allthingsorangecounty #exclusive_wildlife #oceanlifemagazine #oceanconservationresearch #discoverwildlife #wildestworld #excellent_nature #mydanapoint #roam_the_oceans #explore_wildlife #oceanconservation #animalelite #discoverycove Shot with #canonr5 @dolphin_project @wildlifefriend @danawharf @canonusa @canonwhatelse @stunningocean (at Dana Wharf Whale Watch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgP3ItGKWgz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
