A case of intergeneric hybridization in the wild between a female bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) and a short-beaked common dolphin ( Delphinus delphis ), considered members of ‘ vulnerable’ and ‘endangered’ subpopulations in the Mediterranean, respectively, by the International Union of Conservation of Nature is described in this paper. The birth of the hybrid was registered in the Bay of Algeciras (southern Spain) in August 2016, and the animal has been tracked on frequent trips aboard dolphin-watching platforms. This unique occurrence is the result of an apparent ongoing interaction (10 years) between a female bottlenose dolphin and common dolphins. The calf has a robust body with length similar to Tursiops , while its lateral striping and coloration are typical of Delphinus . It displays the common dolphin’s ‘criss-cross’ pattern. However, the thoracic patch is lighter than in D . delphis and its dorsal area is light grey, with a ‘V’ shape under the dorsal fin. This paper also provides a comprehensive mini-review of hybridizations of T . truncatus with other species.
