Dolphin / Porpoise
I've carved a couple.
If there isn't enough wood to have the flippers stick out, you can get away with laying them back and closer to the body. Lot more sanding than when carving a bear! I think the most difficult part is maintaining the center to keep them from looking lopsided.

Very nice! What kind of wood is that?

The dark one is Birch with an Oak stain. The lighter pair is Sycamore which was dead in the middle and alive on the outer part.
