Description

The Spinner dolphin is a toothed whale under the family Delphinidae whose prime habitats are the off-shore tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. These spinning champs are recognizable by their acrobatic skills and aerial spiral, which starts in the water and progresses into the air before they dive back into the ocean. The animals have long, skinny beaks, flippers that are curved and pointed at their tips, tall triangular dorsal fin, and slender bodies. The spinner dolphin displays different routines during the day and night, where they relax during the day and travel at sundown to feed. Spinning time is usually late in the afternoon. Like most dolphins, the Spinner dolphin is social and loves congregating in large schools.
