Description

Extreme close-up of a short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) performing an aerial acrobat.

"The short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) is a species of common dolphin. It has a larger range than the long-beaked common dolphin (D. capensis), occurring throughout warm-temperate and tropical oceans, with the possible exception of the Indian Ocean.[4] There are more short-beaked common dolphins than any other dolphin species in the warm-temperate portions of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.[5] It is also found in the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas." - quoted from Wikipedia

If I could be any creature on Earth, I would choose to be a dolphin. Extremely intelligent, aerodynamically sleek, stealthy, acrobatic and highly social mammals which I find, at once, awe-inspiring, breathtaking and mysterious.
