The final scanned image to a project that spanned more than a year in the making. The end feels happy and sad, but also freeing to return to a backlog of other ideas.

The seal with the spots is based on one I swim with up here, a nod.

Risso's Dolphin Grampu griseus Family: Delphinidae Genus: Grampus Status and Conservation: Least Concern Working on this one was very relaxing. Dolphins take me not so much time and still, the result is nice, So I usually work two every week I'm working on this family. Still amazed at how little I know about this bug family and how interesting its members are. If you want to know more about them, you can join my club here ____________________________ That will be it for this week. If you like the content, leave me some love. Reblogs are also loved. This blog is becoming the most complete source of mammals. Adios!

Went to a post card fair today and found this one. Need to do more research. This was a Risso's dolphin that lived along a stretch of coastline in New Zealand and guided sailors away from dangerous rocks.

Risso’s dolphin - Grampus griseus

Length: 13 feet

This gray dolphin has a large, rounded head. As it grows older, its skin gradually becomes white. It has no teeth in its upper jaw and sometimes no teeth at all. It swims the seas leisurely in groups of up to several dozen.

*[White scars]

Adults look white because of countless scars on their skin. All dolphins and whales are injured at some point, but their scars usually fade with time. This species’ injuries leave permanent white scars that gradually turn their entire body white as they get older.
