The Chilean
dolphin - or in scientific gargle Cephalorhynchus eutropia
- is truely indigenous to Chile where it inhabits coastal
waters.
It is poorly known, from a limited number of strandings
and observations in the sea. Main characteristics are
its lead-grey dorsal side contrasted by a white belly
and throat and the rounded dorsal fin which resembles
a mickey-mouse ear. The Chilean dolphin is poorly known
which is partly due to its elusive behaviour and its
remote and difficult to access distribution area in
southern Chile.
