Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) adult and juvenile leaping towards the bow of a passing boat. These dolphins may reach a length of just over 2 metres and weigh up to 140 kilograms. They inhabit offshore waters in warm seas,usually up to eight kilometres from shore,but come into shallow water seasonally. They live in groups of between 5 to 15 individuals,feeding on on fish and squid. The young are born without spots,which gradually accumulate with age.
