The Dusky Dolphin (lagenorhynchus obliquidens) is a highly gregarious and acrobatic dolphin found in coastal waters in the Southern Hemisphere. It was first identified by John Gray in 1828. It is very closely genetically to the Pacific White-sided Dolphin, although current scientific consenus is that they are distinct species.
