Stranded Rissos Dolphin: A Unique Moment of Playfulness and Survival This photograph showcases a stranded Rissos dolphin (Grampus griseus), an enigmatic marine mammal, as it stands headfirst in the shallow water, seemingly playing and emerging from the ocean. The dolphin's scars, believed to be inflicted by the teeth of other Rissos dolphins or their squid prey, add intrigue to its already striking appearance. Rissos dolphins are a unique species, inhabiting tropical and temperate waters of both hemispheres, excluding the polar regions. Their distinctive features include their rounded dorsal fin, long beak, and numerous scars covering their bodies. These scars are not only a testament to their rough-and-tumble social interactions but also to their diet, which primarily consists of squid. Stranding is a rare occurrence for Rissos dolphins, and the exact reasons for it remain unclear. Some theories suggest that they become disoriented in shallow waters, while others propose that they may be in distress due to illness or injury. Regardless, this photograph captures a rare and poignant moment of a Rissos dolphin's life, as it stands and plays in the shallow water, defying the odds and showcasing its resilience and playful nature. The history of Rissos dolphins dates back to ancient times, with records of their presence in various parts of the world. Today, they continue to fascinate scientists and wildlife enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the complex and intriguing world of marine mammals.
