Heavisides Dolphins
Heavisides dolphins are amongst the most sociable of all dolphins. They will ride along beside a boat for hours at a time and will even follow a rowing dinghy.
They are only found on the west coast of Southern Africa (off South Africa and Namibia).
This painting is a detail from "Off Hottentot Bay".
