This dolphin is famous for its acrobatic displays in which it spins along its longitudinal axis as it leaps through the air.
Spinner Dolphins love to jump, flip and twist above the surface of the water. This is possibly to communicate.
At night, this dolphin travels to deeper water to eat. On average, an adult dolphin will eat 4-9% of its body weight in fish, squid and shrimps.
Spinner Dolphins can live for 20 years.
These dolphins live in an open and loose social organization.
Mother and calves form strong social bonds.
Vocalizations of Spinner Dolphins include whistles, burst-pulse signals and Echolocation clicks.
This dolphin has a 10-month gestation period and the mother will nurse her young for one to two years.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE !
