Stenella longirostris
Spinner Dolphin

Description:

The spinner dolphin gets its name from its habit of leaping from the water and spinning rapidly before landing with a splash. Sometimes, individuals will leap repeatedly, as many as seven times in a row. In the eastern tropical Pacific, spinner dolphins frequently swim together with schools of yellowfin tuna. Fishermen look for dolphin pods, knowing they'll likely be with the tuna they want.

Stats:

Spinner dolphins can live for 20 years.
Spinner dolphins can jump up to 9 feet above water.
Spinner dolphins grow up to 7 feet long and weigh up to 170 pounds.
