When I think of free, it's pretty hard for me not to think of the common dolphin. These fellows were captured on film during a whale watch near the Port of Los Angeles on August 3rd of this year.
These (long beak dolphins) rather surprised me, because I didn't know that there were more than one species of common dolphin, and had only seen short beaked commons (Delphinus delphis) before. The third type of common dolphin is the Arabian common dolphin (Delphinus tropicalis).
CLASS: Mammalia
ORDER: Cetacea
SUBORDER: Odontoceti
FAMILY: Delphinidae
GENUS: Delphinus
SPECIES: capensis

Think I posted this comment in the wrong place before, so here is my life photo for this week:
The giant katydid, Siliquofera grandis
Not inkeeping with the 'free' theme I'm afraid... a dried and pinned specimen, but interesting nonetheless I think. Hope you enjoy!
Here's my free fish!
Sam... the themes are always optional. They're just to provoke some thought if people aren't sure what to post or need a little jab.
Hey all! I sorta managed one for the other 95% - though it's not one of my pictures, but they are such cute critters!
