The Pacific
white-sided dolphin has a robust body, with a tall dorsal
fin and flippers that are dark at the front, and fade
to pale grey on the rear. The patterns on each animal
tend to vary, but all have a black or grey back, and
a thin light grey strip along both sides, which runs
from the head and widens into a patch on the rear flank,
by the tail. They also have a pale grey patch on each
side above their flippers, and a white belly. Their
beak is extremely small and black, and they have 42-64
teeth on both their upper and lower jaws.
