I have a long, thin beak and love rivers wide,
In South America, I take great pride
I’m spotted and sleek, love the warm seas,
Playing in groups, I ride with the breeze.
I live in the ocean, bold and strong,
I’m the “bottle-nose” you’ve known all along!
I have a short, stubby beak you see,
With dark patches, I swim wild and free.
I live near the coast where the rivers run,
I’m pink and playful under the sun.
My teeth are sharp, my body is fast,
Through the dusky waves, I dart right past.
Black and white and speedy too,
New Zealand’s waters are where I grew.
In deep blue seas, I leap and soar,
My striped body you can’t ignore.
I’m rarely seen, shy and small,
In river waters, I make my call.
I’m small and I smile, with a very short beak,
In the Indo-Pacific, I play hide and seek.
I’m thick, I’m rough, but I’m friendly at heart,
With wrinkled skin, I play my part.
I love cold waters, I’m stocky and quick,
My white belly is a clever trick.
I swim near Chile, swift and neat,
With my narrow black beak, I’m a treat.
A river dolphin once lost in plight,
Declared extinct — a tragic sight.
Named for my nose that turns upward bright,
I leap from the water with pure delight.
From the Indian Ocean’s sparkling sheen,
My playful leaps are often seen.
I’m small but fast, with a grayish hue,
Off Australia’s coast, I splash with my crew.
My sides are darker, my belly is light,
In the Atlantic’s cold, I show my might.
I’m spotted young but lose them when old,
In Florida’s warmth, I like it bold.
I’m shy and deep, in oceans dark,
A “fraser’s” name leaves a mark.
I live where the rivers and ocean meet,
In Australia’s waters, I’m quick on my feet.
I have a black face and white flanks too,
In southern seas, I dance with my crew.
With short, stocky bodies, we huddle in packs,
Over waves in the south, we love to relax.
Near Argentina, I flip and play,
With a blunt nose leading the way.
In deep Pacific waters, I’m rarely found,
My smile is hidden; I make no sound.
