    I'm not an expert on cetaceans, but the black and white coloration says "Orca" to me. Of course, scale is hard to determine in the picture, and would definitely help with the identification.

        Hard to tell from the photo but they look way too small for orcas. With the white underside it could be either a spinner dolphin or a common dolphin, tho the latter has kind of a yellowish patch on the side which I don’t see here. I think spinners are the most likely guess. But not the bottlenose dolphin most people think of when they think of dolphins. They too are lighter underneath but not as white as this picture.

    Last night, the "Nature" program on PBS with David Attenborough showed some great recreations of an ancient pliosaur. With its four big fins churning for speed and quick acceleration and a 2m long head filled with sharp teeth, it would snap up those little guys like they were sardines.

    Just sayin' ...
