The figure captures the dolphin's streamlined body shape, designed for swift movement through ocean waters. Its coloration typically includes a distinctive hourglass pattern on its flanks, with a light gray / tan color on the dorsal (top) side blending into a creamy white on the side.
The figure's head is characterized by a pointed beak, which aids in capturing prey such as small fish and squid. The figure's pectoral fins are long and curved, allowing for precise maneuverability, while the dorsal fin is tall and triangular, contributing to its hydrodynamic efficiency.

The Common Dolphin is a widely distributed species found in temperate and tropical waters around the world. It is known for its acrobatic displays, social behavior, and distinct coloration, which varies slightly between different populations. Typically, Common Dolphins exhibit a light gray to tan color on their dorsal side, fading into a creamy white ventral side, with a bold, hourglass pattern along their flanks that varies in intensity and shape among individuals.
Physically, Common Dolphins have a streamlined body adapted for efficient swimming and diving. They are medium-sized dolphins, typically growing between 6 to 8 feet in length and weighing between 110 to 220 pounds (50 to 100 kilograms). Their elongated rostrum, or beak, is used for catching fast-moving prey such as small fish, squid, and crustaceans. They are highly social animals and often travel in large groups, called pods, which can number in the hundreds or even thousands of individuals. These pods exhibit complex social structures and engage in coordinated hunting behaviors to maximize their feeding success.
Common Dolphins are known for their playful and energetic behavior, frequently leaping out of the water, riding bow waves created by boats, and engaging in synchronized swimming patterns within their pods. These behaviors not only serve social bonding purposes but also help in communication and navigation across their vast oceanic ranges.
