Figure 105. —Grampus, particularly younger animals, have two regions of 

 grayish-white on the ventral surface , one in front of the flippers and another 

 beginning on the belly narrowing towards the tail. These markings closely 

 resemble the ventral marking of pilot whales. {Photos courtesy of Marine- 

 land of Florida.) 



Figure 106. - Stranded grampus can be readily identified. On this captive 

 animal note the blunted head, the distinct crease on the front of the head 

 (see also Fig. 107), and the extensive scarring of the body. [Photo

Figure 107. —Grampus have seven or fewer teeth in each side of the lower 

 jaw. (None in the upper jaw.) Many of these teeth may have fallen out of 

 older specimens, and the remaining teeth may be extensively 

 worn. (Photo courtesy of Marmeland of Florida.)
