Lakshadweep, Union territory, India: Lakshadweep is a tropical archipelago of 36 atolls and coral reefs in the Laccadive Sea, off the coast of Kerala, India. Not all of the islands are inhabited, and only a few are open to visitors (permits required). Kavaratti, one of the more developed islands, is home to dozens of mosques, including the ornately decorated Ujra Mosque, as well as the Kavaratti Aquarium, showcasing regional fish, shark, and coral species.

Offshore spotted dolphin Stenella attenuata attenuata

Observed by ahmeddomarr, public domain

Features for recognizing the bridled dolphins, pt. 2: pantropical spotted dolphin

The pantropical spotted dolphin, as the name suggests, is found in warm waters across the globe. In most of its range, it is a primarily offshore species, though coastal forms also exist. The name also suggests spots, but - as with the Atlantic spotted dolphin "Stenella" frontalis - this is often not the case.

Useful features of pattern for ID:

Spots are often faint, especially in offshore forms which may remain nearly or completely spotless even as full-grown adults. This individual shows fairly typical offshore spotting, where the spots are small and dark, and most concentrated on the lower sides/underside toward the tailstock. The most-heavily-spotted forms are the coastal dolphins found in the eastern tropical Pacific, where they are the only dolphins to have spots.

The overall coloration is dark grey, rather than the classic three-toned delphinid coloration of a dark cape, mid-toned thoracic patch, and pale underside. While some pantropical spotted dolphins do have lighter ventral coloration, it is not as contrasting as it is in other species and the result is still a dolphin that is overall dark grey.

The shape of the dorsal cape is probably the key identifying feature. The cape rises above the face, and then has an obvious dip down below the dorsal fin. The margins of the cape are smooth and crisp; there is no intruding blaze from the thoracic patch. Even in dolphins - like this one - that have a low-contrast coloration, the dipping shape of the slightly-darker cape is obvious.

The lip line is very pale. In this individual the pale area is not especially prominent, but in some the pale area may be quite thick and often includes a completely-pale beak tip.

Useful features of body form for ID:

Beak is fairly long and probably the stoutest of the bridled dolphins, but still thinner than a bottlenose dolphin's.

Body is long, thick, and sleek.

The elongate sleekness of the body shape is exaggerated by the relatively small size of the pectoral flippers and the dorsal fin, which is falcate, pointed, and usually somewhat "back-swept".
