Meet the northern right whale dolphin, a rare species instantly recognizable for its lack of a dorsal fin. It is one of only two dolphins in the world without one and the only one in the North Pacific without a dorsal fin.
Its smooth, torpedo-like body helps it slice through the water with minimal resistance, giving it a sleek, almost whale-like profile.
Even though their population is estimated in the tens of thousands, they’re elusive and usually stick far offshore, which is why people don’t come across them often.
These dolphins are famous for their aerial displays, often leaping, spinning, and performing synchronized maneuvers in massive groups called superpods that can number up to 3,000.
They frequently travel with Pacific white-sided dolphins, diving deep to chase schools of squid and small fish. Agile, social, and acrobatic, they remain one of the most fascinating and elusive marine mammals of the Pacific.
Seeing them up close is a pretty unique experience! WOW!
