The Pacific white-sided dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens), also known as the hookfin porpoise, is a very active dolphin found in the cool to temperate waters of the North Pacific Ocean. The Pacific white-sided dolphin has three colors. The chin, throat and belly are creamy white. The beak, flippers, back, and dorsal fin are a dark gray. Light gray patches are seen on the sides and a further light gray stripe runs from above the eye to below the dorsal fin, where it thickens along the tail stock. A dark gray ring surrounds the eyes.
