Daily wildlife photography: the stripped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba. These dolphin can be identified, as the name suggests, by a black stripe in each side of the body; they can be found in large groups; and at least in Açores, where this photos were taken, they tend to be shy and not approach boats that much. But to compensate, they frequently swim fast with frequent jumps off the water, giving us good opportunities to take a good look them!

What a great experience it must be to see them live in wild. Photos are extra bonus I guess :)
I've travelled many times with boat and saw dolphins "dancing" next to us :) they were wonderful and so beautiful creatures!!!
Woaa.. i ever heard that dolphin r not easy to found.. I ever heard from people who used to go by boat looks dolphin just like 1/100 times.. Is it right? Or maybe its just rare in his area? Ah and just like what u said.. i saw them swim fast to balance the boat😆
