Their body is streamlined so they can swim fast in the water and have control in their swimming with the tail. The dorsal fin provides stability in the swimming.

Their color is usually grey, and some different shades of grey with some lines or patches on the side below with lighter contrast. The dolphins don’t grow hair.
