    No my mistake, I wanted your opinion as well since I have too much trouble deciding!

    Just got back from Mississippi and this won't be true for long...

    Endless thanks to @devilfish for showing me this article:
    Rescued Beach Whale Identified as a Pygmy Killer Whale - WXXV 25
    Really appreciate it! New Cetaceans are my favorite species to add!

    @Kakapo Not sure if Mississippi is more feasible than Okinawa for you ??

    Photos now up in the "USA Other" gallery!! (Also could a Moderator move these photos to the proper gallery after it is created)

    @Kakapo would you like to select a photo for this thread?

    @Kakapo I've uploaded photos of Heaviside's Dolphins, Brydes Whale, Long-beaked Common Dolphin, Dusky Dolphin and Southern Right Whale to South African Wildlife. The first two are not yet represented in the gallery. Choose any photos you like for a Moderator to add into the guide.

    Additionally would it be possible for a Moderator to add a Pygmy Killer Whale photo into the guide- @Kakapo you now have two choices as @RatioTile has also added photos which are quite nice!

    2. Heaviside Dolphin: Heaviside's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus heavisidii) - ZooChat
    3. Bryde's Whale: Bryde's whale (Balaenoptera brydei) - ZooChat

    or https://www.zoochat.com/community/media/pygmy-killer-whale-feresa-attenuata.466461/full?d=1572467310


    With a possible option to update photos for
    1. Southern Right Whale: southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) (taken from drone footage from our whale watch) - ZooChat
    2. Long-beaked common dolphin: long-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus capensis) - ZooChat

    I have added all these into the thread.


    I won't change these unless @Kakapo wants them changed.

    Note I posted a link to a paper a page or two back about how Long-beaked and Short-beaked Common Dolphins are genetically identical.

    If you wanted to showcase the different types just in case, there should be a few represented on the forum.

    For example, I have photographs uploaded of an individual from the Icelandic population, and of an individual from the Northern Pacific Resident population.

    Cetacean database website (and even cetacean focused zoo anti websites...) can be used to identify the origins of most, if not all captive orca. Due to captive breeding, a lot of these animals are hybrids between populations now; there's quite a few partially descended from the near-extinct Southern Pacific Resident population.

    It's usual for Photographic Guides of other animal groups, to change photos by better ones once they're uploaded? If yes, go for it, no problem.
