The common dolphin is a medium-sized marine mammal with a long narrow beak and a light hourglass pattern on the sides. It lives in large schools, swims fast, and often jumps out of the water.
The common dolphin differs from other dolphins with its bright pattern on the sides and very long beak. It is important for nature as a hunter that helps control fish populations in the seas.
