The Pacific white sided dolphin is light to dark gray with a white underside. These color adaptations allow them to blend in with the ocean. They have also adapted black rings around their eyes. This helps deflect the glare of the sun in and out of the water.

How does the Pacific White-Sided Dolphin protect itself?

Pacific white-sided dolphins have a dark gray or black back, white belly and a distinctive white or gray stripe on both sides. This contrast is called counter shading, this allows it to blend in with the ocean and protects it from predators from above, and the white undersides camouflages it when viewed from below against light from the sky.Pacific white-sided dolphins are among the fastest and most acrobatic of all dolphin species. They can swim up to 25 miles per hour.
