Description
Name: Heaviside's Dolphin (Cephalorhynchus Heavisidii)
Class: Mammal
Diet: Carnivore
Size: 1.8 meters long, 75 kilograms
DANGER: Defensive if Necessary
Range: Southwest Coast of Africa
Habitat: Temperate Coast
Conservation Status: Near Threatened
Description: The Heaviside's Dolphin is a species of Oceanic Dolphin that is native to the coastal waters of Namibia and the southwestern coast of Africa, being one of the 4 different species in the genus Cephalorhynchus, it is closely related to the Chilean Dolphin, the Hector's Dolphin, and the Commerson's Dolphin, all of which are known for their small size compared to many other Cetaceans. This Dolphin can be recognized thanks to the distinct color pattern it has on its body, which greatly differ from the other Dolphin species in its native range, plus they are often seen bow-riding around boats as well as surfing on the coastal waves. How often they're hunted is unknown, but we do know that one of the main predators of the Heaviside's Dolphin is the Killer Whale, and bite marks on some individuals lead us to believe that Sharks often go for them as well. While the Heaviside's Dolphin feeds on different demersal fish and some cephalopods, the majority of their diet consists of juvenile Hake and Octopi, in fact, most individuals of this species can be found in areas where there are high densities of juvenile Hake, which is mostly at depths of less than 100 meters and at temperatures between 9 and 15 degrees Celsius.

Personal Thoughts: I have heard about this Dolphin before, and I do have to say, the wide Cetacean variety made by Zeta-Designs really fleshes out the diversity in Cetaceans for Zoo Tycoon 2, all of which are incredibly well made. This one especially looks amazing in game, I definitely think this one is perfect for an Aquarium or marine zoo. It has no bugs or glitches, the modeling and textures are accurate compared to the real animal, even down to the distinctive color patterns on its body, and it can breed properly in the game. I highly recommend checking this one out.
My Rating: 10/10
