Adopt a dolphin
Tall Fin is one of Port Phillip’s common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) – and one of the few we know is male. Tall Fin has been seen nearly every year since 2007 and frequently approaches our research vessel.
Tall Fin has a very slender and tall fin, with no obvious markings, which is unusual for a dolphin that must be approaching 20 years of age. If you look closely at the image below, you will see some scars on Tall Fin’s beak – which helps confirm our estimate of its age.
Tall Fin is often seen with calves.
