🎥: bluelifewild // Risso's dolphins look unlike any other dolphin. They have bulb-shaped heads and distinctive gray bodies which overtime become heavily scarred. The scarring likely occurs due to the loss of pigment during the healing process of skin wounds from teeth raking between dolphins, and circular markings from prey such as squid | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

Taiji: Dolphin hunters quickly found a small pod of Risso’s dolphins and drove them into the Cove after a long battle. 4 were carried back out to sea and dumped. Presumably moms with calves. The remaining 6 dolphins were slaughtered. Their lifeless bodies dragged to the butcher house. Yet another sad day in Taiji. Feb 5. 2026 | Dolphin Project

New species unlocked, the Risso’s Dolphin. Know as the Ghosts of the open ocean—Risso’s dolphins wear their life story in scars. With chalky white skin, deep-set eyes, and no visible beak, they look more like sea spirits than dolphins, surfacing in eerie silence before vanishing into the deep. They prefer deep offshore waters, often far from coastlines, and tend to travel in small, quiet pods. In places like the Azores, California, or parts of the Mediterranean. That was neat to see, a first for

They are easily distinguished from other dolphins by their heavily scarred bodies. These scars are a result of the dolphins’ rough social behavior, as well as their encounters with prey such as squid and octopuses.

On September 17, a pod of Risso’s dolphins was driven into the Cove, where the entire pod were slaughtered. Documentation obtained by Life Investigation Agency （LIA） indicates that there was an extremely young dolphin- perhaps even a newborn- in the pod. LIA is continually investigating the legality of the calf's slaughter, and ways for to take action. Read more: https://bit.ly/3j6Nps0 | Dolphin Project

Unusual Risso's dolphin stranded at Island Beach State Park; rare for Jersey Shore

Meet the Risso’s dolphin, Baja’s most battle-worn resident. Covered in scratches like a pirate’s treasure map, this slow-motion beauty shows off every line like a badge of honor. But don’t worry, these marks aren’t from sharks. Risso’s dolphins love a good tussle... with each other. They spar with their teeth, leaving behind the scribbly scars you see here. It’s all part of their social behavior, roughhousing is just how they roll. So why don’t other dolphins look like this? Most species have sm

Today, we had great looks at it and from the drone's perspective you can see the other Risso's swimming next to it with "normal" dark gray color and scars from squid and teeth. Included in this video you will see Sea Lions shredding apart a Mola Mola Sunfish as well as Humpback whales gracefully descending into the depths. September 20th, 2018 | Monterey Bay Whale Watch

TODAY WAS A DOLPHIN DAY Risso’s dolphins were among the four species of cetaceans seen today off the coast of Dana Point and Laguna Beach. Their markings and blunt, rounded head with no pronounced beak make them quite unique. Risso’s dolphins marks are from being scratched and scared. They come mainly from fighting with other dolphins, injuries from squid (their main prey), and parasites. Their dark skin heals by turning scars white, so marks stay visible. As they age, scars accumulate, making o
