Information about the Commerson’s Dolphin:
The Commerson’s Dolphin – also called the Skunk Dolphin, Piebald Dolphin and Panda Dolphin – is native to the cold waters off the coast of the southern tip of South America and also near the Kerguelen Islands (which are a group of islands in the southern Indian Ocean. This later population wasn’t discovered until the 1950’s. The dolphin is named for Philibert Commerson who first described them in 1767 when he saw them in the Straights of Magellan. It is one of the smaller cetaceans, growing only to about 5 feet long (1.5 meters) While it more closely resembles a porpoise, it’s behavior is more typically dolphin, being very active, leaping and spinning from the water and riding in the fronts of boats. Like other dolphins they feed on fish, squid and crustaceans

Artist’s notes:
The Commerson’s Dolphin was completed on 3.27.2013. One of the really great things about being a scientific illustrator is being free to explore the immense animal kingdom and, if time allows, draw whatever animal I find interesting, unique or beautiful (or a combination thereof.) In the Commerson’s Dolphin, I discovered a stunning looking animal that was a pleasure to render. The drawing is based on a photo by Ruka The Black Fish
