The Atlantic spotted dolphin is a medium-sized marine mammal from the dolphin family. It lives in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean and is distinguished by light spots on the body in adult animals.
The Atlantic spotted dolphin differs from related species by the abundance of spots in adult animals. It is important for nature as a hunter of fish and squid and as part of the marine food chain.
