How did ZHAO Chuang and YANG Yang create Xibao the Chinese White Dolphin?
The Size of Xibao the Chinese White Dolphin
Based on the research of Chinese white dolphins, Xibao the Chinese White Dolphin was set to 2.5 meters to scale down when we created this model.
The Body of Xibao the Chinese White Dolphin
Xibao the Chinese White Dolphin has a notably chubby face with many folds on the underside of its jaw. Its eyes are relatively small; its rostrum is pointed, and it features a prominent dome on the top of its head. This dolphin’s back has a humped structure, giving its body a robust appearance, while its dorsal fin is small.
The Color of Xibao the Chinese White Dolphin
Xibao the Chinese White Dolphin distinguishes itself from other dolphins by its color. Mature Chinese white dolphins become entirely white, often exhibiting a pink hue. In contrast, newborns are significantly different—they are dark gray. Their gradual lightening of color signifies their growth.
