Fantastic skeleton of a Guiana dolphin at the Aquarium-Museum of Liège.

It was originally described by Van Beneden as the type specimen of Sotalia brasiliensis in the 19th century, which is now considered to be a synonym of Sotalia guianensis.

Un rasgo característico de los zifios (Ziphiidae) macho es la presencia de uno o dos pares de dientes que sobresalen, como en los jabalíes, y con los que compiten contra otros machos por las hembras. 📸A. Henry

On the 23nd day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me the whale barnacle, Coronula diadema (Linnaeus, 1767). These little crustaceans are considered parasites on whales. Normal, everyday barnacles live their lives attached to a rock or shell on the sea bottom. Not so for C. diadema. . .
