A bottlenose dolphin's skin color is gray to dark gray on its back, fading to white on its lower jaw and belly. This coloration, a type of camouflage known as countershading, may help conceal a dolphin from predators and prey. When viewed from above, a dolphin's dark back surface blends with the dark depths. When seen from below, a dolphin's lighter belly blends with the bright sea surface.
