1885 Delphinus Dolphin Dolphins Varieties Delphis
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1885, showcases two intriguing varieties of dolphins: the Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) and the Bottlenose Dolphin (Delphinus tursio). The image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the natural world of these magnificent marine creatures during a time when underwater photography was still in its infancy. The Common Dolphin, depicted at the top left, is characterized by its long beak and distinctive curved dorsal fin. Its body is typically gray on the back and white on the belly, with a distinct hourglass-shaped pattern on its sides. This dolphin is known for its agility and speed, making it a popular sight for marine enthusiasts and researchers. The Bottlenose Dolphin, shown at the top right, is easily recognizable by its short, stubby beak and rounded dorsal fin. Its body is gray on the back and white on the belly, with a lighter patch on its belly and a darker patch around its eyes. This dolphin is native to warm and temperate waters around the world, and is known for its intelligence and social behavior. This photograph, taken over a century ago, provides a fascinating window into the past and highlights the rich biodiversity of our oceans. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting these incredible creatures and their habitats for future generations to enjoy. The historical significance of this image, along with the intrigue of observing these two unique dolphin varieties, makes it a must-see for anyone with an interest in marine life and the natural world.
