A dolphin is a beautiful animal. Almost all dolphins have roughly the same body shape.  Most have a robust body that tapers towards the end.  Most have distinct beaks and dorsal fins.  The flukes also usually have a notch in them.  Also the pectoral fins are usually long.  The coloring is mostly grey with a white stomach.  Although the stomach is sometimes pink, also the coloring can be blue, plus very few dolphins are all white, and there is sometimes stripes of different colors, or stripes.
