What is another word for southern right whale dolphin?
Pronunciation: [sˈʌðən ɹˈa͡ɪt wˈe͡ɪl dˈɒlfɪn] (IPA) 
The Southern right whale dolphin, one of the smallest dolphins, owes its name to the black "right whale" oil that was highly valued by whalers. This elusive marine mammal is also known by other names such as the hourglass dolphin, black dolphin, and saddleback dolphin. Due to its distinctively shaped dorsal fin and colorful markings that resemble an hourglass or saddle, these synonyms have been coined. The Southern right whale dolphin is also commonly mistaken for the more common dusky dolphin due to their similar appearance. Despite its small size, this playful and acrobatic dolphin is a sight to behold in the wild.
