where do spinner dolphins get their name from
Spinner dolphin The spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) is a small dolphin found in off-shore tropical waters around the world. It is famous for its acrobatic displays in which it spins along its longitudinal axis as it leaps through the air. It is a member of the family Delphinidae of toothed whales.
Baltic Sea Cetaceans in Baltic Sea have been monitored by the ASCOBANS. Critically endangered populations of Atlantic white-sided dolphins and harbor porpoises inhabit the sea where white-colored porpoises have been recorded,[52] and occasionally oceanic and out-of-range species such as minke whales,[53] bottlenose dolphins,[54] beluga whales,[55] orcas,[56] and beaked whales[57] visit the waters. In recent years, very small, but with increasing rates, fin whales[58][59][60][61] and humpback whales migrate into Baltic sea including mother and calf pair.[62] Now extinct Atlantic grey whales (remains found from Gräsö along Bothnian Sea/southern Bothnian Gulf[63] and Ystad[64]) and eastern population of North Atlantic right whales that is facing functional extinction[65] once migrated into Baltic Sea.[66]
