Illigan Dolphin
The Illigan dolphin is a cetacean native to the Bohol Sea off Mindanao in the Philippines, known from sightings made by W. F. J. Mörzer Bruyns, who also reported the Alula whale, Greek dolphin, and Senegal dolphin.
The Illigan dolphin has a distinct "ploughshare head," compared to that of the Pacific white sided dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens) or a porpoise (Phocoena sp.). It is brightly-coloured, with a dark brown dorsal surface, orange and yellow flanks, and a pink underside.
Illigan Dolphins will travel in pods of ten to thirty individuals, they also freely mingle with Pilot Whales and Melon-headed Whales. They are not shy but tend to ignore and keep their distance from ships
The Illigan Dolphin is currently Endangered due to rising ocean temperatures, pollution and overfishing. Conservationists from the Green City Zoo are working on captive breeding programs and habitat restorations for these animals
