And here is our last friend in the watercolour commission. After all the cartilaginous fish comes a familiar face; an Oceanic common bottlenose dolphin. Based on some of the pretty faces that actually occur around French Polynesia. Especially around Rangiroa it seems they are seen quite frequently and there is some beautiful images of them underwater. This page has a whole gallery of gorgeous photos, not just of the bottlenoses, but also other cetaceans and many other ocean denizens, if you're in need of some vitamin Sea.
I hope you've enjoyed this foray into traditional art, for the next commissions it's back to digital.
I think one of my favorite things about cetaceans (whales and dolphins) is the way they exhibit little signs of culture varying from pod to pod. For example, in the 80s there was a wild dolphin named Billie in Adelaide who was placed in dolphin rehab after being injured, and she spent some time amongst captive dolphins while recovering. Just from watching the Marineland dolphins, Billie learned to perform a trick called βtail walkingβ which is a behavior that dolphins donβt really do in the wild. However, when Billie was released back into Port River after her recovery, she loved tail walking so much that she taught it to all of the other wild dolphins in the pod as well as her daughter. Billie would regularly race up to boats and tail walk alongside them to the delight of passengers
There was a period for several years where pretty much all of the dolphins in Port River were tail walking on a regular basis until the fad eventually wore off, as fads do. Billie herself though never stopped exhibiting the behavior until her death in 2009 from renal failure. What a remarkable animal she was; I love what her story tells us about dolphin behavior and cognition.

I'm actually alive, here's photos I've taken of Akai - who is one of the older dolphins at DCO and is going to be in his 50s very soon <3

Bottlenose Dolphin (tursiops)

status: least concern
Another round of these dolphins playing! This time they seem to have jumped in a way that resulted in a bit of a mid air collision. All in normal dolphin fun though it was cool to see!

Dolphins assert dominance and establish/maintain social hierarchy via "raking" (dragging their teeth on across the skin). This practice leaves scars (rake marks) throughout the dolphin's body. This beautiful individual was particularly laden w/ rake marksβ which may indicate it was of lower social standing.
