Pacific White-Sided Dolphin

Lagenorhynchus obliquidens

Description:

When in the Great Bear Rainforest, you never know who you'll run into on your way to work!

Habitat:

These dolphins can be found in large pods (this one was 200+) in the temperate waters of the North Pacific. They enjoy deep, offshore waters and are quite active and playful, often approaching boats to surf in their wake!
