Dolphins with Style: Introducing the Spotted & Hourglass Dolphins 

The pantropical spotted dolphin and the hourglass dolphin are two fascinating dolphin species found in our oceans. The hourglass dolphin features a unique white pattern on its sides for camouflage, while the spotted dolphin sports spots that develop as it matures. These dolphins inhabit different waters, with hourglass dolphins residing in cold Southern Ocean areas and spotted dolphins frequenting warmer, subtropical oceans. Both species are social, often traveling in groups, but face different threats; the hourglass dolphin is relatively safe, while the pantropical spotted dolphin has historically been endangered by fishing practices.
