Spotted Dolphin Illustration | Marine Biology Educational Resource #3302079 (License: Personal Use)

This high-fidelity illustration depicts a spotted dolphin in mid-swim, with precise attention to anatomical features including the curved dorsal fin, elongated beak, and distinctive spotted patterning along its flanks. The shading and stippling technique conveys texture and depth, emphasizing the animal’s hydrodynamic shape and natural color gradient from dark gray dorsally to white ventrally. The soft blue background evokes open-ocean habitat without distracting from the subject.

Used on educational websites, marine biology textbooks, conservation organization pages, and museum exhibits to visually support content about cetacean species identification, anatomy, or ocean biodiversity. Matches user intent for learning, research, or outreach on dolphin biology.
