Hourglass Dolphins. This picture was taken a year ago, Feb 16th 2020, in the South Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, on route from the Falklands to South Georgia and close to the Antarctic Convergence. One pelagic species of dolphin can be seen so far south, close to the convergence, the Hourglass Dolphin. It is small, really fast, and on the few occasions they come alongside a ship, encounters tend to very brief, as if they check out the ship then lose interest and move on. This means they are difficult to spot, let alone get a picture, and the few that tend to get a fleeting view, are the smokers on the stern deck! Finally, after so many times of missing out on a sighting, or a brief glimpse with no chance of a photo, on this occasion I was lucky since I had my camera with me and I got this picture! #kevthenatureguide #hourglassdolphin #southernocean #southatlantic #falklands #southgeorgiaisland #gadventures #g_expedition #ptga #polartourismguides #polartourismguidesassociation #antarcticambassadors https://www.instagram.com/p/CLWR8TEDj6P/?igshid=h8k7fmxg95y0

Lagenorhynchus cruciger is Hourglass dolphin

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”  ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy “It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English - up to fifty words used in correct context - no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.”  ― Carl Sagan “The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner', but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish.”  ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Lagenorhynchus cruciger is Hourglass dolphin

Lagenorhynchus cruciger Hourglass dolphin Lagenorhynchus cruciger (Hourglass dolphin) is a small dolphin in the family Delphinidae that inhabits Antarctic and subantarctic waters

Hourglass dolphin The Hourglass dolphin has rarely been seen. It was identified as a new species by Jean René Constant Quoy and Joseph Paul Gaimard in 1824 from a drawing made in the South Pacific in 1820. It is the only cetacean to have been widely accepted as a species solely on witness accounts. The scientific name for the hourglass dolphin is, “Lagenorhynchus cruciger”. The only potential natural predators of the hourglass dolphin is a pack of killer whales. At under six feet long the hourglass dolphin is about the size of an average adult male. The hourglass dolphin is colored black on top and white on the belly, with white patches on the sides. and sometimes variations of dark grey. For this reason, it was colloquially known by whalers as a "sea cow" (although it does not belong to the taxonomic order Sirenia.). Each flank has a white patch at the front, above the beak, eye and flipper, and a second patch at the rear. These two patches are connected by a thin white strip, creating, loosely speaking, an hourglass shape; hence the common name of the dolphin. The scientific name cruciger is Latin for "cross-carrier". This refers to the area of black coloration, which, viewed from above, vaguely resembles a Maltese cross or cross pattée. There have been no verified sightings of calves and their coloration remains unknown. How long do hourglass dolphins live? The lifespan of hourglass dolphins is not known, but is likely similar to other members of its genus such as the Atlantic white-sided dolphin, which lives up to 27 years and the Pacific white-sided dolphin, which lives up to 46 years. The food that dolphins eat is different for each species. While some dolphins eat fishes like herring, cod or mackerel, some others eat squids or other cephalopods. Even more, large dolphins like killer whales, eat marine mammals like seals or sea lions and sometimes even turtles. An estimated 144,300 hourglass dolphins remain south of the Antarctic convergence. There are no direct threats to this species, largely because their remote habitat is rarely visited by humans. However, climate change could still pose a threat to hourglass dolphins in the near future. Climate change has the potential to raise sea temperatures significantly, which could disrupt vital marine ecosystems that have adapted to the cold water. Fun Facts About Hourglass Dolphins 1. Hourglass dolphins are named after the distinct, hourglass-shaped white markings on their sides. 2. Hourglass dolphins are known for bow riding (leaping through waves) in front of ships and whales. 3. Hourglass dolphins have been spotted in groups of up to 100, but typically stay in smaller groups of about 8 dolphins. 4. Hourglass dolphins reach a maximum known length of 6 feet (1.8 m). 5. The hourglass dolphin is the only small dolphin species found in Antarctic waters. Hourglass Dolphin Facts

where do hourglass dolphins live

The hourglass dolphin is the only small dolphin that swims south of the Antarctic convergence where cold Antarctic waters meet the slightly warmer waters of the sub-antarctic. The largest concentrations of hourglass dolphins have been sighted in Drake Passage, which lies between the tip of South America and Antarctica.
