Description
One of my favourites, a poster showing all species of the oceanic dolphin family. This poster was made in 2011 and as such does not include new discoveries like the Burrunan dolphin or the Humpback dolphins’ split into four species. A new, digital version, is (slowly) in the make.

Wow... Thank you immensely for making this! I think it's the only picture on the entire Internet that visually shows every dolphin in one picture, and to scale, even!
So, this is geeky beyond belief, but I've recently become fascinated by dolphins because I'm writing a silly book about "biologically viable mermaids" (imagine that...!) and realized at some point that if mermaids DID exist, the bottom half would definitely be a dolphin tail, not a fish tail, as dolphins are much closer to humans on the evolutionary timeline. ...Anyway, the reason I love this picture, and your entire gallery by extension, is you do such a great job of spreading love and awareness for these magnificent animals. I want to understand dolphins as deeply as I can so that someday I can create a somewhat feasible concept of mermaids... or mer-phins, or something. XD
You rock!
