Pacific White-Sided dolphins often associate with other cetaceans. They are active and demonstrative animals. These dolphins have been seen leaping clear out of the water, cavorting, and almost anything else to make a splash. Pacific White-Sided dolphins have a soft, subtle color pattern. The patterns vary greatly between individuals. They also resemble dusky dolphins.
