Upon closer scrutiny, this IS a dolphin. Where's the DOH! smiley? Thanks.

Sharks don't have the curved dorsal fin, theirs is more triangular, and sharks have a tail fin for swinging side to side. That is a fluke which goes up and down for propulsion.

I watch my Discovery Channel...oh yeah em effers...I do.

Trust me, there is a lot of wet suit soiling when you're sitting out on your board waiting for the next wave and you see a dorsal fin of any kind... there is usually a collective silence and prayer as each of us sits there waiting to see a back arch when the animal dips below the surface which means the fin is on top of a dolphin. no back arch usually means lunch is served and you hope that you're shoulder/arm muscles aren't too tired to paddle your fat ass to shore as quickly as possible.
