Overview

Table Mountain National Park is the single atlas park where the Risso's Dolphin is recorded. Its records concentrate in the United States, Taiwan, France, Portugal, and Mexico. There are 8,501 records of this mammal across 16 countries, and the map shows where these records gather.

Recorded months differ by region, and each place page shows the months recorded for that location.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Risso's Dolphin as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
