Let's dive into the riddle!

• 身长近一丈， 鼻在头顶上， 
  shēn cháng jìn yī zhàng，bí zài tóu dǐng shàng，
  The first two lines, "身长近一丈，鼻在头顶上," describe an animal with a body length of nearly ten feet and a nose located on top of its head. This suggests a marine mammal.
• 腹白背青黑， 安家在海洋。

  The next two lines, "腹白背青黑，安家在海洋," tell us that this animal has a white belly, a blue-black back, and it lives in the ocean. This clearly points to a dolphin.
