The stuff of legend and lore, the Common Dolphin is both highly intelligent and credited with human-like emotions. Common Dolphins are known to rescue wounded and drowning members of their family, helping them to the surface to breath and giving support while swimming. Primarily a denizen of tropical and warm waters, the Common Dolphin rarely ventures into the coastlines and estuaries, preferring the open ocean. Perhaps this is because man has been known to kill the dolphins here. So severe was this predation that the Soviets banned its capture in 1966. Other countries followed suit.

This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood® First Day Cover for the U.S. 25¢ Common Dolphin stamp issued October 3, 1990.
