Hi, I'm Andrew and I’m just a simple zoology student and crustacean researcher from Ohio. This blog centers around animal IDs so feel free to send me any unknown species (and its location) that you have and I will take my best shot at IDing it! I also occasionally post random zoology/animal factoid things.
Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated

Hourglass Dolphin (Lagenorhynchus cruciger)
is a rare species of small dolphin that is found in subantarctic and Antarctic waters. They get the name hourglass from two white patches that are connected by a thin strip that runs across the animals body which almost looks like an hourglass. Not too much information is known about these dolphins as only 6 specimens have been examined.
