The heaviside's dolphin lives in remote areas and is generally shy. Their bodies are similar to hector's dolphins. They have small, triangular like dorsal fins. However, the leading edges of their dorsal fins are longer than the trailing edges. These dolphins have been seen bow-riding, wake-riding, and escorting ships. It appears that some pods have home ranges and do not travel far outside these ranges.
