		The common dolphin, or the Delphinus delphis has a distinctive colouration which varies within and between geographical regions.
		Common dolphins may range up to 2.6 m in length, and over 130 kg in weight, although most adults are less than 2.3 m long and weigh around 80 kg.
		The long-beaked form is mainly found in the Gulf of California or western Baja California and there is possibly a population of this type in the eastern South Pacific.

	CMS: Delphinus delphis, Common dolphin
		Delphinus delphis is widely but discontinuously distributed in warm temperate and tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and probably Indian oceans.
		Estimates of the mean seasonal abundance of Delphinus in coastal southern California from Point Conception to Cape Collenette in Baja California are approximately 15,500 in winter-spring and 57,000 in summer-autumn.
		Delphinus delphis occurred almost exclusively in summer in groups of 2-150 individuals, often with calves, especially at Cape Foulwind and Jackson Head, suggesting a seasonal preference for this coast.

		All of them present a high number of teeth: no less than 43 for each branch of the jaws, the upper limit being 60.
		In these specimens the relative length of the rostrum and the index length of the rostrum divided by zygomatic width yield the maximum values quoted for Delphinus sp.
		This species is insufficiently known and is not listed by IUCN or CMS (see "links").

		Evidence for two species common dolphins (genus Delphinus) from the eastern North Pacific.
		The short-beaked form is referable to Delphinus delphis Linnaeus.
		The long-beaked form in the eastern Pacific is the nominal species Delphinus bairdii Dall, 1873 for which we designate a neotype, although we note that this species is a junior synonym of Delphinus capensis Gray, 1828.

	STUDENT PROJECTS
		Abstract: Two species of common dolphin (genus Delphinus) have recently been distinguished in the North East Pacific on the basis of rostral length, tooth count and rostral length : zygomatic width ratios, as well as colour pattern.
		Whilst detailed examination of 19 adult stranded specimens of Delphinus from around South Africa revealed the existence of distinctive colour morphs, these were skeletally indistinguishable.
		Consequently, the conclusions reached are tentative and it is suggested that more rigorous testing be performed before any firm conclusions about morphological and genetic differences between the two populations can be made.

		It has been suggested that this article be split into multiple articles accessible from a disambiguation page.
		The common dolphin is the name given to up to two species of dolphin making up the genus Delphinus.
		Despite the historic practice of lumping the entire Delpenis genus into a single species, these widely distributed dolphins exhibit a wide variety of size, shape and colour.

	Short Beaked Common Dolphins - Dolphins And Whales Window
		The Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) is the name given to two, or occasionally one species of dolphin, making up the genus Delphinus.
		Modern cetologists usually recognise two species - the Short-beaked Common Dolphin, which retains the systematic name Delphinus delphis, and the Long-beaked Common Dolphin D. capensis.
		Despite the historic practice of lumping the entire Delpinus genus into a single species, these widely distributed dolphins exhibit a wide variety of size, shape and colour.

	The Common Dolphin
		A distinguishing factor between specimens of Delphinus and similar long-snouted small dolphins, such as Stenella is the presence of groves on the palate.
		The echolocation capabilities of Delphinus are similar to but less advanced than those of the bottlenose dolphin.
		In 1889, F. True listed nine different species in the genus Delphinus, and then after examining the individuals found only four valid species: D.

		Their results lead them to conclude that yes, common dolphins are either long beaked, or short beaked.
		Long beaked common dolphins now have the genus species Delphinus capensis while short beaked common dolphins are known by the genus species Delphinus delphis.
		Both long and short beaked common dolphins can be found in all oceans, even travelling together in the same pods.

	Delphinus delphis, Common Dolphin at MarineBio.org
		The Common dolphin, Delphinus delphis (Linnaeus, 1758), aka Saddleback dolphin, Saddleback porpoise, Criss-cross dolphin, White-bellied dolphin, Hourglass dolphin and Saddleback, are typically 1.7-2.6 m in length and weigh between 70-135 kg.
		They are fusiform (shaped like a fish), slender, not robust; back fl to brownish fl, coloration and markings variable; chest and belly cream to white.
		The species Delphinus capensis is also known as a Common dolphin and is nearly identical except for a longer beak.

		The Kerguelen Island population in the Indian Ocean was not known of until the 1950s.
		Commerson's dolphins were originally classified in 1804 under the genus species Delphinus commersonii.
		Their taxonomic listing was revised in 1846 to their current classification Cephalorhynchus commersonii.
