    Here's the answer from the books

    Adult Risso's dolphins are usually dark gray with extensive white scarring. The scars can be scratches, splotches, or circular marks and, in some animals, can be so extensive that the entire body appears to be white. This scarring may come from bites from other Risso's dolphins, squid bites, or parasites. As calves, their bodies are a uniform light gray, which then darkens to a brownish-gray in juveniles.

    PS The one with no scarring is a baby, there were many young Rissos in the pod swimming with their mothers

    Great shots! Can you elaborate a little on the seals? Are they playing in the boats wake, or trying to escape finatical camera men?

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
